+Users can opt out `tokio` by setting `default-features = false`. The `*_with_socket` functions accept types implementing the `AsyncSocket` trait.
 
-When using `default-features = false` with `futures-io`, tokio is not pulled in as a dependency.
+The crate provides `io::Compat` that implements `AsyncSocket` for `futures-io` types (requiring the `futures-io` feature).
