   [[The Efl Main Loop

   The Efl main loop provides a clean and tiny event loop library with many modules to
   do lots of convenient things for a programmer, saving time and effort. It's
   lean and designed to work on anything from embedded systems all the way up to large
   and powerful multi-cpu workstations. The main loop has a number of primitives you can use.
   It serializes these and allows for
   greater responsiveness without the need for threads (or any other concurrency). However
   you can provide these if you need to.
