		275	=item C<EVFLAG_FORKCHECK>
		276
		277	Instead of calling C<ev_default_fork> or C<ev_loop_fork> manually after
		278	a fork, you can also make libev check for a fork in each iteration by
		279	enabling this flag.
		280
		281	This works by calling C<getpid ()> on every iteration of the loop,
		282	and thus this might slow down your event loop if you do a lot of loop
		283	iterations and little real work, but is usually not noticeable (on my
		284	Linux system for example, C<getpid> is actually a simple 5-insn sequence
		285	without a syscall and thus I<very> fast, but my Linux system also has
		286	C<pthread_atfork> which is even faster).
		287
		288	The big advantage of this flag is that you can forget about fork (and
		289	forget about forgetting to tell libev about forking) when you use this
		290	flag.
		291
		292	This flag setting cannot be overriden or specified in the C<LIBEV_FLAGS>

		754
		755	=item int ev_priority (ev_TYPE *watcher)
		756
		757	Set and query the priority of the watcher. The priority is a small
		758	integer between C<EV_MAXPRI> (default: C<2>) and C<EV_MINPRI>
		759	(default: C<-2>). Pending watchers with higher priority will be invoked
		760	before watchers with lower priority, but priority will not keep watchers
		761	from being executed (except for C<ev_idle> watchers).
		762
		763	This means that priorities are I<only> used for ordering callback
		764	invocation after new events have been received. This is useful, for
		765	example, to reduce latency after idling, or more often, to bind two
		766	watchers on the same event and make sure one is called first.
		767
		768	If you need to suppress invocation when higher priority events are pending
		769	you need to look at C<ev_idle> watchers, which provide this functionality.
		770
		771	The default priority used by watchers when no priority has been set is
		772	always C<0>, which is supposed to not be too high and not be too low :).
		773
		774	Setting a priority outside the range of C<EV_MINPRI> to C<EV_MAXPRI> is
		775	fine, as long as you do not mind that the priority value you query might
		776	or might not have been adjusted to be within valid range.

		1809	=item w->set<class, &class::method> (object *)
		1810
		1811	This method sets the callback method to call. The method has to have a
		1812	signature of C<void (*)(ev_TYPE &, int)>, it receives the watcher as
		1813	first argument and the C<revents> as second. The object must be given as
		1814	parameter and is stored in the C<data> member of the watcher.
		1815
		1816	This method synthesizes efficient thunking code to call your method from
		1817	the C callback that libev requires. If your compiler can inline your
		1818	callback (i.e. it is visible to it at the place of the C<set> call and
		1819	your compiler is good :), then the method will be fully inlined into the
		1820	thunking function, making it as fast as a direct C callback.

		1835	Also sets a callback, but uses a static method or plain function as

		2309	All of the following are about amortised time: If an array needs to be
		2310	extended, libev needs to realloc and move the whole array, but this
		2311	happens asymptotically never with higher number of elements, so O(1) might
		2312	mean it might do a lengthy realloc operation in rare cases, but on average
		2313	it is much faster and asymptotically approaches constant time.

2172		2318
		2319	This means that, when you have a watcher that triggers in one hour and
		2320	there are 100 watchers that would trigger before that then inserting will
		2321	have to skip those 100 watchers.

2174		2324
		2325	That means that for changing a timer costs less than removing/adding them
		2326	as only the relative motion in the event queue has to be paid for.

2180		2334
		2335	These watchers are stored in lists then need to be walked to find the
		2336	correct watcher to remove. The lists are usually short (you don't usually

2184		2342
		2343	A change means an I/O watcher gets started or stopped, which requires
