555 - Before the first iteration, call any pending watchers. 555 - Before the first iteration, call any pending watchers.
556 * If there are no active watchers (reference count is zero), return. 556 * If EVFLAG_FORKCHECK was used, check for a fork.
557 - Queue all prepare watchers and then call all outstanding watchers. 557 - If a fork was detected, queue and call all fork watchers.
558 - Queue and call all prepare watchers.
558 - If we have been forked, recreate the kernel state. 559 - If we have been forked, recreate the kernel state.
559 - Update the kernel state with all outstanding changes. 560 - Update the kernel state with all outstanding changes.
560 - Update the "event loop time". 561 - Update the "event loop time".
561 - Calculate for how long to block. 562 - Calculate for how long to sleep or block, if at all
563 (active idle watchers, EVLOOP_NONBLOCK or not having
564 any active watchers at all will result in not sleeping).
565 - Sleep if the I/O and timer collect interval say so.
562 - Block the process, waiting for any events. 566 - Block the process, waiting for any events.
563 - Queue all outstanding I/O (fd) events. 567 - Queue all outstanding I/O (fd) events.
564 - Update the "event loop time" and do time jump handling. 568 - Update the "event loop time" and do time jump handling.
565 - Queue all outstanding timers. 569 - Queue all outstanding timers.
566 - Queue all outstanding periodics. 570 - Queue all outstanding periodics.
567 - If no events are pending now, queue all idle watchers. 571 - If no events are pending now, queue all idle watchers.
568 - Queue all check watchers. 572 - Queue all check watchers.
569 - Call all queued watchers in reverse order (i.e. check watchers first). 573 - Call all queued watchers in reverse order (i.e. check watchers first).

571 be handled here by queueing them when their watcher gets executed. 575 be handled here by queueing them when their watcher gets executed.
