Should Async::poll be considered as registering interest? #14

On one hand, it is attempting to observe the data, on the other, if the data isn't available, it won't return the data...

poll may be used to evaluate which decision to make in control flow, and does not necessarily imply there is a desire to immediately act on the value should it be present.

I think you are probably right. I'm going to close this as I think the answer is no.
