+ * io_duplex - set plans for both input and output.
+ * @conn: the connection that plan is for.
+ * @in: the input plan
+ * @out: the output plan
+ *
+ * Most plans are either for input or output; io_duplex creates a plan
+ * which does both.  This is often used in the init function to create
+ * two independent streams, though it can be used once on any connection.
+ *
+ * Note that if either plan closes the connection, it will be closed.
+ *
+ * Note that if one plan is io_wait or io_always, that causes a problem:
+ * they look at the input and output plan slots to figure out which to
+ * use, but if the other plan hasn't been evaluated yet, that will fail.
+ * In this case, you'll need to ensure the other plan is evaluated first,
+ * eg. "struct io_plan *r = io_read(...); return io_duplex(r, io_always(...))"
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * struct buf {
+ *     char in[100];
+ *     char out[100];
+ * };
