tree on multiple systems - e.g. when you have /home NFS-mounted).

Also saves around 50 bytes in total - not sure why.

Autonomous generators must be genuinely autonomous (having their own
process), or otherwise arrange to be called.  TCP does this by
starting the retry timer immediately.

Add some debugging statements.

from the normal POSIX-style open()

ensure that we only drop our self-reference exactly once.

To maintain the guarantee that an object won't go out of scope
unexpectedly while one of its event handlers is being called, the
event-calling functions now automatically obtain and drop extra
references.

Add "xfer" to all xfer functions and "job" to all job functions.
