Because IO#read and IO#sysread are different, too.  The former
is read-in-full behavior (outside of EOF) while sysread matches
the low-level C interface and allows for partial reads.

Likewise with write vs syswrite regarding write-in-full
behavior.

Currently, OpenSSL does not provide an interface to recv(2)
which handles flag arguments :<

I too wish for recv(2) and send(2) interfaces which lets me
use MSG_MORE|MSG_DONTWAIT flags.
