I'd actually like to see something like this pitched as a
"concurrent.eventloop" PEP. PEP 3153 really wasn't what I was
expecting after the discussions at the PyCon US 2011 language summit -
I was expecting "here's a common event loop all the async frameworks
can hook into", but instead we got something a *lot* more ambitious
taht tried to merge the entire IO stack for the async frameworks,
rather than just provide a standard way for their event loops to
cooperate.

Cheers,
Nick.
