net.server_epoll: Add support for opportunistic writes This tries to flush data to the underlying sockets when receiving writes. This should lead to fewer timer objects being around. On the other hand, this leads to more and smaller writes which may translate to more TCP/IP packets being sent, depending on how the kernel handles this. This trades throughput for lower latency.

-- Storage Interface API Description
--
-- This is written as a TypedLua description

-- Key-Value stores (the default)

interface keyval_store
	get : ( self, string? ) -> (any) | (nil, string)
	set : ( self, string?, any ) -> (boolean) | (nil, string)
end

-- Map stores (key-key-value stores)

interface map_store
	get : ( self, string?, any ) -> (any) | (nil, string)
	set : ( self, string?, any, any ) -> (boolean) | (nil, string)
	set_keys : ( self, string?, { any : any }) -> (boolean) | (nil, string)
	remove : {}
end

-- Archive stores

typealias archive_query = {
	"start"  : number?, -- timestamp
	"end"    : number?, -- timestamp
	"with"   : string?,
	"after"  : string?, -- archive id
	"before" : string?, -- archive id
	"total"  : boolean?,
}

interface archive_store
	-- Optional set of capabilities
	caps   : {
		-- Optional total count of matching items returned as second return value from :find()
		"total" : boolean?,
	}?

	-- Add to the archive
	append : ( self, string?, string?, any, number?, string? ) -> (string) | (nil, string)

	-- Iterate over archive
	find   : ( self, string?, archive_query? ) -> ( () -> ( string, any, number?, string? ), integer? )

	-- Removal of items. API like find. Optional?
	delete : ( self, string?, archive_query? ) -> (boolean) | (number) | (nil, string)

	-- Array of dates which do have messages (Optional?)
	dates  : ( self, string? ) -> ({ string }) | (nil, string)

	-- Map of counts per "with" field
	summary : ( self, string?, archive_query? ) -> ( { string : integer } ) | (nil, string)
end

-- This represents moduleapi
interface module
	-- If the first string is omitted then the name of the module is used
	-- The second string is one of "keyval" (default), "map" or "archive"
	open_store : (self, string?, string?) -> (keyval_store) | (map_store) | (archive_store) | (nil, string)

	-- Other module methods omitted
