 =head2 I/O WATCHERS
 You can create an I/O watcher by calling the C<< AnyEvent->io >> method
 with the following mandatory key-value pairs as arguments:
-C<fh> the Perl I<file handle> (I<not> file descriptor) to watch
+C<fh> the Perl I<file handle> (I<not> file descriptor) to watch for events

+callback to invoke each time the file handle becomes ready.
 Although the callback might get passed parameters, their value and
 presence is undefined and you cannot rely on them. Portable AnyEvent
 callbacks cannot use arguments passed to I/O watcher callbacks.
 Some event loops issue spurious readyness notifications, so you should
 always use non-blocking calls when reading/writing from/to your file
 handles.
-Example:
-   # wait for readability of STDIN, then read a line and disable the watcher

    my $w; $w = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub {
       chomp (my $input = <STDIN>);
       warn "read: $input\n";
       undef $w;
    });
 Although the callback might get passed parameters, their value and
 presence is undefined and you cannot rely on them. Portable AnyEvent
 callbacks cannot use arguments passed to time watcher callbacks.

-      $w = AnyEvent->timer (after => 1, cb => $cb);
+   my $w = AnyEvent->timer (after => 0.5, interval => 1, cb => sub {
+      warn "timeout\n";
    };
-   # start the "loop" by creating the first watcher
-   $w = AnyEvent->timer (after => 0.5, cb => $cb);
 =head3 TIMING ISSUES
 There are two ways to handle timers: based on real time (relative, "fire
 in 10 seconds") and based on wallclock time (absolute, "fire at 12

 =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
 provide AnyEvent compatibility.

 C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>.
 When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event
 model it chooses.
+=item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT>
+AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough
+argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value
+will cause AnyEvent to thoroughly check the arguments passed to most

 =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>
 This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before
 auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting

 Similar considerations apply to $ENV{PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE}, as that can
 be used to probe what backend is used and gain other information (which is
