Thanks. With all his extensive knowledge about the waters we sail, I
prefer to think of Jan as a captain though. So no democracy here. :-)

We should be able to write a library(pengines_intearctive) that does
two things: 1) defines a predicate pengine_event_loop_asynch/2, and 2)
defines predicates that do not take options in terms of those that do.
A reasonable compromise in my opinion, that will reduce the number of
predicates that pengines.pl export, just as Jan wanted..

That would be great!
