John,

This is exactly where Sport is used.  It already has abstractions for
sockets and files and many other things.  One of the key aims of Sport
is to act as a lightning rod for things that should be consistent
between dialects, but are not.   And Sport is already used by Hyper,
the PostgreSQL drivers and some of the libraries you mention above.

So, have a look at Sport to see what people actually need today to
ease inconsistencies between dialects.

All the best,
    Bruce
