//! Answering one event at a time, until the user quits.
//!
//! Everything that happens to `bdi` reaches here as an `Event` on one
//! channel, and everything the loop does about one it does through `View`.
//! Those two types are the whole of what it knows: it never names a
//! terminal, a forest or a tail, and nothing that produces an event names
//! the loop.
