I need this to implement SMTP pipelining checks. I mostly need to
flush my send buffer when the read buffer is empty before waiting for
the next command.
A step towards collapsing Tokio sub crates into a single `tokio`
crate (#1318).
The `io` implementation is now provided by the main `tokio` crate.
Functionality can be opted out of by using the various net related
feature flags.
Related to #1318, Tokio APIs that are "less stable" are moved into a new
`tokio-util` crate. This crate will mirror `tokio` and provide
additional APIs that may require a greater rate of breaking changes.
As examples require `tokio-util`, they are moved into a separate
crate (`examples`). This has the added advantage of being able to avoid
example only dependencies in the `tokio` crate.
