A cross platfrom implementation would cover the case we most care about -- writing services that pass static files back to clients -- but would have to cut some functionality from the *NIX sendfile().
There isn't a standard unix sendfile, while a few different ones have functions called 'sendfile', they have different meanings/prototypes in general. If 'sendfile(2)' is going to be exposed, it should be in a low level platform specific library, however, since you are dealing with deciding to use unportable behavior, it is hard to see what this will gain over a manual FFI wrapper.
