+/**
+ * An Event object represents an external event that requires processing. 
+ * A concrete {@link EventLoop} implementation must ensure that Events are 
+ * processed in the application's main event loop. 
+ * 
+ * <p>An application (and any concrete class of EventLoop) should treat Events
+ * as opaque objects to be passed to {@link EventLoop#handleEvent(Event)}.
+ *  
+ * <p>Event processing is designed to happen in the main event loop, so for
+ * example a GUI application might handle Events in the following manner:
+ * <pre>
+ *  EventLoop eventLoop = new EventLoop() {
+ *     protected void post(final Event event) {
+ *       // Invoke the callback in the AWT display thread     
+ *       SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
+ *           public void run() {
+ *              handleEvent(event);
+ *          }
+ *       });
+ *     }
+ *  };
+ *  .
+ *  .
+ *  .
+ *  client.onConnected.connect(new Slot() {
+ *     public void call() {
+ *        // This will always be called inside the event dispatching thread
+ *        updateSomeTextFieldInTheGUI("Connected");
+ *     }
+ *  });
