   loop::run () // flags=0
   loop::one_iteration () // once
   loop::sweep () // nonblock

would be possible :) Or even:

   loop ();

:->

the reason it is called ev_loop is caused by a limitation in C's object
orientation, and I think we can get away with renaming it here (it
actually is taken mostly from libevent, and today I think maybe its not
that good an interface).

I am not saying we should rename it, its basically the question wether we
want to use something ugly like loop_ref and a loop_ref::loop, or a loop,
and a renamed (nut nice) loop::run ().
