gollark: Yes, I guess.
gollark: Basically.
gollark: It waits for the right timer event, and will just wait infinitely if it's already happened.
gollark: Because otherwise sleep will wait forever.
gollark: I'm working on trying to have my process manager support suspending. It *kind of* works, but any "timer" events are eaten up and not fed to the process while it's suspended, so "sleep" just waits forever. How should I solve this? An event queue (could get gigantic fast, so probably not)? Special-casing for "unique" events like timers?
