 * and error notification. Reads all happen on the selector thread, which
 * must not block.

 * Writing uses the same write() methods as used in blocking mode.
 * Queues are employed on the writing side to buffer data while it is waiting
 * to be sent. This strategy relies on HTTP/2 protocol flow control to stop
 * outgoing queue from continually growing. Writes can be initiated by the
 * calling thread, but if socket becomes full then the queue is emptied by
 * the selector thread
