 =head1 WHY YOU SHOULD USE THIS MODULE (OR NOT)
 Glib, POE, IO::Async, Event... CPAN offers event models by the dozen
 nowadays. So what is different about AnyEvent?
 Example: fork a process and wait for it
   my $done = AnyEvent->condvar;
-  AnyEvent::detect; # force event module to be initialised
   my $pid = fork or exit 5;
   my $w = AnyEvent->child (
      pid => $pid,
      cb  => sub {
         $done->send;
      },
   );
   # do something else, then wait for process exit
-  $done->wait;
+  $done->recv;
 =head2 CONDITION VARIABLES
 If you are familiar with some event loops you will know that all of them
 require you to run some blocking "loop", "run" or similar function that
 Condition variables are very useful to signal that something has finished,
 for example, if you write a module that does asynchronous http requests,
 then a condition variable would be the ideal candidate to signal the
 availability of results. The user can either act when the callback is
-called or can synchronously C<< ->wait >> for the results.
+called or can synchronously C<< ->recv >> for the results.
 You can also use them to simulate traditional event loops - for example,
 you can block your main program until an event occurs - for example, you
-could C<< ->wait >> in your main program until the user clicks the Quit

 button of your app, which would C<< ->send >> the "quit" event.
 Note that condition variables recurse into the event loop - if you have
-two pieces of code that call C<< ->wait >> in a round-robbin fashion, you
+two pieces of code that call C<< ->recv >> in a round-robbin fashion, you
 lose. Therefore, condition variables are good to export to your caller, but
 you should avoid making a blocking wait yourself, at least in callbacks,
 as this asks for trouble.
 Condition variables are represented by hash refs in perl, and the keys
       cb    => sub { $result_ready->send },
    );
    # this "blocks" (while handling events) till the callback
    # calls send

+   $result_ready->recv;
 =head3 METHODS FOR PRODUCERS
 These methods should only be used by the producing side, i.e. the
 code/module that eventually sends the signal. Note that it is also

 This can be used to signal any errors to the condition variable

 =item $cv->begin ([group callback])
 =item $cv->end
+These two methods are EXPERIMENTAL and MIGHT CHANGE.
 These two methods can be used to combine many transactions/events into
 one. For example, a function that pings many hosts in parallel might want
 to use a condition variable for the whole process.
 These methods should only be used by the consuming side, i.e. the
 code awaits the condition.

 caller decide whether the call will block or not (for example, by coupling
 condition variables with some kind of request results and supporting
 callbacks so the caller knows that getting the result will not block,
 while still suppporting blocking waits if the caller so desires).

 can supply.
 The L<Coro> module, however, I<can> and I<does> supply coroutines and, in
 fact, L<Coro::AnyEvent> replaces AnyEvent's condvars by coroutine-safe
 versions and also integrates coroutines into AnyEvent, making blocking

 This is a mutator function that returns the callback set and optionally
 replaces it before doing so.

 =head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES AND FUNCTIONS
 Be careful when you create watchers in the module body - AnyEvent will
 decide which event module to use as soon as the first method is called, so
 by calling AnyEvent in your module body you force the user of your module
 to load the event module first.
-Never call C<< ->wait >> on a condition variable unless you I<know> that
+Never call C<< ->recv >> on a condition variable unless you I<know> that
 the C<< ->send >> method has been called on it already. This is
 because it will stall the whole program, and the whole point of using
 events is to stay interactive.

 =head1 SUPPLYING YOUR OWN EVENT MODEL INTERFACE
 This is an advanced topic that you do not normally need to use AnyEvent in
 a module. This section is only of use to event loop authors who want to
       poll => 'r',
       cb   => sub {
          warn "io event <$_[0]>\n";   # will always output <r>
          chomp (my $input = <STDIN>); # read a line
          warn "read: $input\n";       # output what has been read
-         $cv->broadcast if $input =~ /^q/i; # quit program if /^q/i
+         $cv->send if $input =~ /^q/i; # quit program if /^q/i
       },
    );
    my $time_watcher; # can only be used once
       });
    }
    new_timer; # create first timer
-   $cv->wait; # wait until user enters /^q/i
+   $cv->recv; # wait until user enters /^q/i
 =head1 REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
 Consider the L<Net::FCP> module. It features (among others) the following
 API calls, which are to freenet what HTTP GET requests are to http:
    sysread $txn->{fh}, $txn->{buf}, length $txn->{$buf};
    if (end-of-file or data complete) {
      $txn->{result} = $txn->{buf};
-     $txn->{finished}->broadcast;
+     $txn->{finished}->send;
      $txb->{cb}->($txn) of $txn->{cb}; # also call callback
    }
 The C<result> method, finally, just waits for the finished signal (if the
 request was already finished, it doesn't wait, of course, and returns the
 data:
-   $txn->{finished}->wait;
+   $txn->{finished}->recv;
    return $txn->{result};
 The actual code goes further and collects all errors (C<die>s, exceptions)
 that occured during request processing. The C<result> method detects
 whether an exception as thrown (it is stored inside the $txn object)
    my $quit = AnyEvent->condvar;
    $fcp->txn_client_get ($url)->cb (sub {
       ...
-      $quit->broadcast;
+      $quit->send;
    });
-   $quit->wait;
+   $quit->recv;
 =head1 BENCHMARKS
 To give you an idea of the performance and overheads that AnyEvent adds
 all watchers, to avoid adding memory overhead. That means closure creation
 and memory usage is not included in the figures.
 I<invoke> is the time, in microseconds, used to invoke a simple
 callback. The callback simply counts down a Perl variable and after it was
-invoked "watcher" times, it would C<< ->broadcast >> a condvar once to
+invoked "watcher" times, it would C<< ->send >> a condvar once to
 signal the end of this phase.
 I<destroy> is the time, in microseconds, that it takes to destroy a single
 watcher.
