OK. Now you have clarified the issue with blocking/nonblocking I/O, I
suggest to rephrase it this way:

----------------------

In eventloop mode, the state machine of a (possibly multiple-address) async
connection proceeds within an internal callback."

In non-eventloop mode, it proceeds whenever a channel operation is
attempted on the socket:

      - nonblocking I/O and [fconfigure] will advance it by one step (i.e.
do whatever is doable without waiting)

      - blocking I/O will advance it to completion, in essence meaning
"switch back to synchronous connect, and in case of success, do the
blocking I/O I asked for"

-----------------------

Reactions ?
