-#:title: Interval
-#
-# While Ruby support the Range class out of the box, is does not quite
-# fullfil the role od a real Interval class. For instance, it does
-# not support excluding the front sentinel. This is because Range
-# also tries to do triple duty as a simple Sequence and as a simple Tuple-Pair,
-# thus limiting its potential as an Interval. The Interval class remedies
-# the situation by commiting to interval behavior, and then extends the class'
-# capabilites beyond that of the standard Range in ways that naturally
-# fall out of that.
-#
-# Range depends on two methods: #succ and #<=>. If numeric
-# ranges were the only concern, those could just as well be #+ and #<=>,
-# but esoteric forms make that unfeasible --the obvious example being a String
-# range. But a proper Interval class requires mathematical continuation,
-# thus the Interval depends on #+ and #<=>, as well as #- as the inverse of #+.

-#
-# An object-oriented multiplexing asynchronous IO mechanism for Ruby.
-# It is an implementation of the Reactor design pattern for multiplexed
-# asynchronous single-thread IO.
-#
-# == Details
-#
-# This module is a pure-Ruby implementation of an asynchronous multiplexed IO
-# Reactor which is based on the Reactor design pattern found in _Pattern-Oriented
-# Software Architecture, Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked
-# Objects_. It allows a single thread to demultiplex and dispatch events from one
-# or more IO objects to the appropriate handler.
-#
-# This module used to be called Ruby-Poll, and used to use the poll(2) system
-# call, but this strategy was not portable, and didn't work with Ruby's
-# threads. It now uses IO::select, which should work everywhere Ruby does.
-#
-# I would greatly appreciate feedback on any aspect of this software. Suggestions,
-# feature requests, questions, design critiques, and bug reports are most
-# welcome. Relevant patches and minimal test cases are particularly helpful. I may
-# be reached by email at <ged@FaerieMUD.org>.

-#       case event
-#       # Accept the incoming connection, registering it also with

-#           reactorobj.register( clsock, :read, :write, &method(:clientHandler) )

-== ChangeLog
-
-* 2003-07-21 09:04  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * README (1.5, RELEASE_0_04):
-
-    - Changed to IO::Reactor.
-    
-* 2003-07-21 08:21  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * install.rb (1.1, RELEASE_0_04):
-
-    Initial checkin.
-    
-* 2003-07-21 00:55  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * test.rb (1.7), utils.rb (1.4), examples/chatserver.rb (1.3),
-    lib/io/reactor.rb (1.11), CATALOG (1.2) (utags: RELEASE_0_04):
-
-    - Refactored into IO::Reactor from Ruby-Poll.
-    
-* 2003-07-21 00:54  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * extconf.rb (1.6), poll.c (1.6), lib/poll.rb (1.11):
-
-    - Removed for IO::Reactor, which no longer needs a C backend.
-    
-* 2003-05-08 16:49  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * makesitedocs.rb (1.3, RELEASE_0_04):
-
-    makesitedocs.rb
-    
-* 2003-04-20 22:37  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * test.rb (1.6):
-
-    Added workaround for recent versions of Test::Unit's API changes.
-    
-* 2003-04-20 22:34  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * poll.c (1.5):
-
-    Added code for simulating poll(2) with rb_thread_select() for machines without a native poll(). Based on code for Freehaven by
-    Nick Mathewson <nickm@freehaven.net>.
-    
-* 2003-04-20 22:32  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * extconf.rb (1.5):
-
-    Added fake poll code to allow machines without a poll(2) to use the library. This also might become the primary method of polling, sadly, as Ruby doesn't tolerate other async IO methods very well due to its use of select() for its threading.
-    
-* 2002-10-20 21:47  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * lib/: poll.rb (1.10), io/reactor.rb (1.10) (utags: RELEASE_0_03):

-    - Got rid of a type-checking statement, as it didn't account for using an IO
-      inside a wrappered or delegated object.
-    
-    - Fixed use of deprecated 'type' method.
-    
-* 2002-09-18 06:33  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * makedocs.rb (1.3, RELEASE_0_04, RELEASE_0_03, RELEASE_0_02):
-
-    - Removed dependence on as-yet-undistributed xhtml RDoc template.
-    
-* 2002-09-06 10:52  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
-
-    * poll.c (1.4, RELEASE_0_03, RELEASE_0_02):
-
-    - Added interrupt-handling to the _poll call.
-    
-    - Added more-informative debugging.
-    
-* 2002-07-20 10:07  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>

-    
-    - New method: #callback().
-    
-    - New method: #args().

-      consolidate the maintenance of internal data structures.
-    
-    - Added missing callback *args to #setCallback().
-    
-    - Cleared up documentation for #register.
-    
-* 2002-07-20 10:03  Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>

-
