=head1 NAME

src/events.c - Event handling stuff

=head1 DESCRIPTION

An event_thread handles async events for all interpreters. When events
are due, they are placed in per interpreter task_queues, where they are
handled then by the C<check_event*> opcodes.

IO events and signals are caught in the io_thread, which again
dispatches these to one or all interpreters.
