When creating a one-shot timer the semantic of having the timer be auto-closed when unused is interesting; on the other hand the opposite semantic may be better for an async handle. Anchoring based on handle active state may be too complex and without that feature it implies that an handle could be closed while active, based on nondeterministic garbage collection.

It may be useful to have channel with limited capacity:

• blocking push
• try_push

On the other hand, it increases implementation complexity (in contrast to pull, push requires processed values).

Misuse of FFI handles seems unlikely, especially because they are encapsulated in tables.

As an external (ljuv-sh) or internal module (ljuv.sh).

Would be an alternative to bash using the Lua semantic (chaining, parallelism, etc.).

• More doc in sources.
• Generate doc with asciidoctor in a gh-pages branch (not a source, should not be in master).

No need for a Lua C module interface, use package.searchpath and ffi.load.
