# this class provides a way to deliver certain events and messages
# synchronously with the main event loop. this is done by queueing the
# actual event/message and writing a byte down a special pipe used
# only inside this process. the other side of the pipe has a read
# event that when triggered will then deliver the queued
# events/messages.

# when using Stem::Event::Signal you need to use this module as
# well. perl signals will be delivered (safely) between perl
# operations but they could then be delivered inside an executing
# event handler and that means possible corruption. so this module
# allows those signal events to be delivered by the event loop itself.
