Thanks for the feedback. I agree with all this, although I suspect
the "certain features" brought by libev would prove to be just a slight
performance enhancement in extreme cases. But interacting with any event
loop is a necessary feature, and as such it needs to be properly
implemented and tested.

Are there other remarks on this? Otherwise I shall start the code
proper.
