Description
Tokio allows splitting a TcpStream into a (Owned)ReadHalf / (Owned)WriteHalf via TcpStream::split / TcpStream::into_split, but I don't believe tokio_rustls allows splitting a TlsStream that wraps a TcpStream. Is there a way to do this with the current API that I'm not thinking of? If not, I'd be interested in helping to implement this feature.
The split method in TcpStream above is not the same as tokio::io::split. It supports true simultaneous reads and writes as opposed to just locking around the syscalls.

Research direction
Start by comparing the current TlsStream API with TcpStream::split and TcpStream::into_split, keeping the distinction from tokio::io::split in view. Determine whether TlsStream can expose equivalent read and write halves with true simultaneous operation; done means the feature is available through the current API and preserves that behavior.
