/** Definition of the core event driver interface.
This module contains all declarations necessary for defining and using
event drivers. Event driver implementations will usually inherit from
`EventDriver` using a `final` class to avoid virtual function overhead.
Callback_Behavior:
All callbacks follow the same rules to enable generic implementation
of high-level libraries, such as vibe.d. Except for "listen" style
callbacks, each callback will only ever be called at most once.
If the operation does not get canceled, the callback will be called
exactly once. In case it gets manually canceled using the corresponding
API function, the callback is guaranteed to not be called. However,
the associated operation might still finish - either before the
cancellation function returns, or afterwards.
