/*! The loop abstraction for driving state changes.
* It binds to the state tracker in `state::Application`,
* and actually gets driven by a driver in the `driver` module.
*
* * * *
*
* If we performed updates in a tight loop,
* the state tracker would have been all we need.
*
* ``
* loop {
* event = current_event()
* outcome = update_state(event)
* io.apply(outcome)
* }
* ``
*
* This is enough to process all events,
* and keep the window always in sync with the current state.
*
* However, we're trying to be conservative,
* and not waste time performing updates that don't change state,
* so we have to react to events that end up influencing the state.
*
* One complication from that is that animation steps
* are not a response to events coming from the owner of the loop,
* but are needed by the loop itself.
*
* This is where the rest of bugs hide:
* too few scheduled wakeups mean missed updates and wrong visible state.
* Too many wakeups can slow down the process, or make animation jittery.
* The loop iteration is kept as a pure function to stay testable.
