Hey Richard,

As you noticed, the newly introduced KIP-288 overlaps with this one. Sorry
for stepping on your toes... How would you like to proceed? I'm happy to
"close" KIP-288 in deference to this KIP.

With respect to poll(), reading this discussion gave me a new idea for
providing a non-breaking update path... What if we introduce a new variant
'poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)' that displays the new, desired
behavior, and just leave the old method alone?

Thanks,
-John
