# Wake up a call to select() running in the main thread.
#
# This is useful in a context where you are using Medusa's I/O
# subsystem to deliver data, but the data is generated by another
# thread.  Normally, if Medusa is in the middle of a call to
# select(), new output data generated by another thread will have
# to sit until the call to select() either times out or returns.
# If the trigger is 'pulled' by another thread, it should immediately
# generate a READ event on the trigger object, which will force the
# select() invocation to return.
#
# A common use for this facility: letting Medusa manage I/O for a
# large number of connections; but routing each request through a
# thread chosen from a fixed-size thread pool.  When a thread is
# acquired, a transaction is performed, but output data is
# accumulated into buffers that will be emptied more efficiently
# by Medusa. [picture a server that can process database queries
# rapidly, but doesn't want to tie up threads waiting to send data
# to low-bandwidth connections]
#
# The other major feature provided by this class is the ability to
# move work back into the main thread: if you call pull_trigger()
# with a thunk argument, when select() wakes up and receives the
# event it will call your thunk from within that thread.  The main
# purpose of this is to remove the need to wrap thread locks around
# Medusa's data structures, which normally do not need them.  [To see
# why this is true, imagine this scenario: A thread tries to push some
# new data onto a channel's outgoing data queue at the same time that
# the main thread is trying to remove some]
