One interesting change from when this was defined last year and this
year is that the "extensible event loop" one has some candidates to pick
from, via guile a-sync, fibers, and 8sync.

However using any of those would require Shepherd being pinned to Guile
2.2.  Maybe not a problem; it could be a branch, and Guile 2.2 stable
looks not so far away.
