Description
Let me know if this has been attempted/discussed in the past but having a sensible UDPServer class (the same way tornado provides a TCPServer one) would be tremendously helpful. I know there are examples sprinkled around the internets on how to use torando's io_loop on a UDP socket but it's all quite messy.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Tornado's existing TCPServer and the scattered UDP socket examples that use the IOLoop. The issue provides no named files or tests, so the API and implementation scope would need to be established first. Done would mean a built-in UDPServer with a sensible interface comparable to TCPServer.
