Ah, I see where my confusion came from.  'min' is mentioned in the
"Watcher Attributes" section:

min => $seconds
  Enforce a minimum number of seconds between triggering events.

.... which is pretty clearly what I wanted to do, but it's an
*attribute*, not a *constructor attribute*.  What should the behavior of
the constructor be if you supply an unused (but recognized) constructor
attribute?  That is,

  Event->io(  fd => $fd, poll => 'r', cb => \&cb, min => 20 );

doesn't complain, but it doesn't do what I expected, either.
