Multiplatform (coroutines) okio/okhttp question...

A strong case is made for the blocking I/O model in the comment thread of this okio <https://github.com/square/okio/issues/814|issue>. The main argument being that dispatching once to `<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>` at the appropriate level to do your blocking read/write will be the most efficient. When we benchmarked using `suspend` for low level JSON tokenization in the AWS SDK for Kotlin we found this to hold true. `suspend` at too low a level (inner loops, small byte reads, etc) causes significant performance degradation.

My question then is what about JS (node) support? The recommendation to block a thread is fine for JVM/Native, what would the equivalent be for JS?
