Not really. The timeout becomes the stream timeout, which is the bound
given to waiting for new input when a buffer needs to be refilled.

Adding stream deadline support for SBCL needs to happen first, really,
unless usocket wants to implement streams from scratch or wrap fd
streams with a grey stream that check the deadline.
