   [[The Ecore Main Loop

   Ecore is a clean and tiny event loop library with many modules to do lots of
   convenient things for a programmer, to save time and effort. It's small and
   lean, designed to work from embedded systems all the way up to large and
   powerful multi-cpu workstations. The main loop has a number of primitives to
   be used with its main loop. It serializes all the primitives and allows for
   great responsiveness without the need for threads(or any other concurrency).
