It seems like a good idea on the face of it, but lowWaterMarks are actually not useful, and in practice should always be set to zero. It would be worthwhile for writers if we actually did some kind of writev() type of thing, but actually this just delays calling write() and the overhead of doing a bunch of Buffer copies is not worth the slight benefit of calling write() fewer times.
Evented I/O for V8 javascript.
