/* {Asynchronous Events}
 *
 *
 * Async == thunk + mark.
 *
 * Setting the mark guarantees future execution of the thunk.  More
 * than one set may be satisfied by a single execution.
 * 
 * scm_tick_clock decremented once per SCM_ALLOW_INTS.
 * Async execution triggered by SCM_ALLOW_INTS when scm_tick_clock drops to 0.
 * Async execution prevented by scm_mask_ints != 0.
 *
 * If the clock reaches 0 when scm_mask_ints != 0, then reset the clock
 * to 1.
 *
 * If the clock reaches 0 any other time, run marked asyncs.
 *
 * From a unix signal handler, mark a corresponding async and set the clock
 * to 1.   Do SCM_REDEFER_INTS;/SCM_REALLOW_INTS so that if the signal handler is not
 * called in the dynamic scope of a critical section, it is excecuted immediately.
 *
 * Overall, closely timed signals of a particular sort may be combined.  Pending signals
 * are delivered in a fixed priority order, regardless of arrival order.
 *
