The need for an overview of blocking vs non-blocking was
identified in the docs WG Q1 roadmap. As there are several
topics also pending creation, this one tries to hit the correct
level of detail based on completion of the others. One
which is referenced is
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4936/files and URLs
within this PR need to change based on where that will land
on the node website.

The current documentation for writable.write only specifies that the
callback is called "once the data has been fully handled". It is
ambiguous whether this means "successfully handled" and, if so,
whether the callback is called if the data can not be successfully
handled (i.e. an error occurs).
The ambiguity is not only in the documentation. The stream class
implementations differ on this point. stream.Writable invokes the
callback with any errors that occur during parameter checking or
during calls to _write. However, not all classes return all errors
to _write. zlib.Zlib does pass argument and state errors to the
_write (_transform) callback, but does not pass data errors.
http.OutgoingMessage passes argument type errors and some other types
of errors, but not all.
This inconsistency is behind issue #1746 and, I suspect, other issues
in client code which passes a callback to write.
This commit takes no position on whether the callback error behavior
should changed, but simply attempts to document the current behavior
in a way that is open to changes so that users are not caught by
surprise.
