- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
- document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
- define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
- - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
- maybe add support for inotify events (which we can do safely now, with O_PATH)
* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
