Instead of forcing the user to make use of wio_ functions it should be possible to take control over all these symbols and transparently redirect them to the wire_io threads to be performed there. This will also allow us to use external libraries that may not be aware of the wires and blocking issues and integrate them with no additional work.

Currently canceling a wire in the middle is impossible without a lot of manual work to support the cancellation. It would be nice to implement a semi-automatic ability to cancel a fiber by using something like the DEFER macro from libbasic.

We can then make a DEFER macro that integrates into the wire, registers the deferred cleanups and then upon wire_cancel have all the cleanups called. This will still be somewhat manual and require care by the user but it will at least make it possible without too much of hand coding.
