On UNIX, a demultiplexor probably will be a wrapper for select(). On Windows, it might be a wrapper for WaitForMultipleObjectsEx(). I'd expect it to be able to handle pipes, sockets, files, signals/exceptions, and microsecond timers.

I forgot to add: it should also be able to handle thread and process events, such as child process termination.
