Well, I'm mainly interested in the review bit. :)

If it passes review, then I'll produce a better patch
to submit for incorporation.

Just let me know if anything seems horrible or misguided about it.

Ah, no. the short-read issue is a work around for fread upon a socket,
which is dubious anyhow.

The other is for the built-in tcp code (src/c/tcp.d), which I suspect
that no-one uses -- but it might as well be fixed up a bit.
