-- |This module can execute events at specified time. It uses a two thread
-- system that allows the STM adding and deleting of new threads without
-- requiring later IO actions. An ability to place arbitrary event preprocessing
-- when adding each event exists, but in a course grained manner. This
-- feature can be expanded on request.
--
-- This is very like control-timeout, but was developed separately internal
-- operation is similar with a thread sleeping via threadDelay and EventIds
-- being based in part on expire time. It differs in that control-event is:
-- * More complex
-- * Requires initilization
-- * Allows pure STM adding and removing of events (no post STM IO action)
-- * Allows user control over event systems (can have more than one)
-- * Allows events to run in event handler thread
-- (advisable if thread spark is too expensive / computation is cheap)
-- * No possible duplication of EventId (theoretical! no real advantage)
--
-- On the other hand, a shim could be made to provide the
-- control-timeout API with Control.Event running under the hood.
