I'd like to echo this sentiment. This is not about providing a 'safe' wrapper to hide some powerful feature of these APIs: the POSIX aio* functions are really completely useless. To quote the relevant standard <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/basedefs/aio.h.html>:
APPLICATION USAGE None. RATIONALE None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS None.
No comment on the rest of your claim, but this is a silly argument. The standard says the same thing about at least fcntl.h, signal.h, pthread.h, and ucontext.h, which clearly are useful.
