+ \begin{funcdesc}{loop}{\optional{timeout\optional{, use_poll\optional{,
+                        map}}}}
+   Enter a polling loop that only terminates after all open channels
+   have been closed.  All arguments are optional.  The \var{timeout}
+   argument sets the timeout parameter for the appropriate
+   \function{select()} or \function{poll()} call, measured in seconds;
+   the default is 30 seconds.  The \var{use_poll} parameter, if true,
+   indicates that \function{poll()} should be used in preference to
+   \function{select()} (the default is false).  The \var{map} parameter
+   is a dictionary that gives a list of channels to watch.  As channels
+   are closed they are deleted from their map.  If \var{map} is
+   omitted, a global map is used.
