kill @@variables, and provide class_attr_reader and writer wich set/get 
instance variables in the class object. (IIRC there were no @@variables 
in early rubies so actually I would avoid keeping up ;).

Have a different threading approach, maybe Agent-like.

Provide more mixins (Readable/Writable/Seekable/Map).

Base the IO system on asynchronous event driven stuff such as libevent. 
I also found funny that in ruby-land people often wants OS threads and 
in python-land were they have them people often wants asynchronous stuff 
(i.e. twisted) :)
