 Here are the gory details of what C<ev_loop> does:
 
    - Before the first iteration, call any pending watchers.

    - Block the process, waiting for any events.
    - Queue all outstanding I/O (fd) events.
    - Update the "event loop time" and do time jump handling.

    - Call all queued watchers in reverse order (i.e. check watchers first).
      Signals and child watchers are implemented as I/O watchers, and will
      be handled here by queueing them when their watcher gets executed.

 Example: Queue some jobs and then loop until no events are outsanding
 anymore.
