I do agree with you on the losing of types.

I cannot have a pair poll, sub poll, etc. because poll takes in the array of 'any socket' types. 

I wonder if the right solution here is -not- to return the socket from the call to poll but just return the flags. 

You can then get hold of the socket itself in the original poll set and that socket would have the original type information.
