Event->io

I finally got some time to clean up my attempt at making Event->io work
with a Postgres database backend, so that "LISTEN/NOTIFY" signals
actually work (using this requires a patch to DBD::Pg, in case you are
interested, because the fd for the database connection is not normally
visible to Perl).

However, I'm slighly puzzled that the min and max parameters I send into
Event->io seem to be ignored.  I didn't see anything in the
documentation that implied they would be ignored, so I expected that

  my $event = Event->io(fd=>$fd, poll=>'r', min=>30, max=>60, ...);

would invoke the callback even if the file descriptor didn't have data. 
Am I misled, somewhat wrong, or completely wrong?  8-)
