/**
 * Creates a new event context using an optionally specified implementation
 * and/or optionally specified required features.
 *
 * If you are an application that has already decided on using a particular
 * event loop implementation, you should not call this function, but instead
 * import the verto-NAME.h header and link against the verto-NAME.so, where
 * NAME is the implementation you wish to use.
 *
 * If you are a library, you should generally avoid creating event contexts
 * on your own but allow applications to pass in a verto_ctx you can use.
 *
 * There are two cases where you should use this function.  The first is
 * where you have a need to choose an implementation at run time, usually
 * for testing purposes.  The second and more common is when you simply
 * wish to remain implementation agnostic.  In this later case, you should
 * always call like this: verto_new(NULL, ...).  This lets verto choose the best
 * implementation to use.
 *
 * If impl is not NULL, a new context is returned which is backed by the
 * implementation specified. If the implementation specified is not
 * available or if the required types (reqtypes) are not provided by the
 * named implementation, NULL is returned. The parameter 'impl' can specify:
 *   * The full path to an implementation library
 *   * The name of the implementation library (i.e. - "glib" or "libev")
 *
 * If impl is NULL, verto will attempt to automatically determine the
 * best implementation to use.
 *
 * First, verto will attempt to use an existing, previously loaded
 * implementation. This is handled automatically by internal caching of either
 * the first implementation loaded or the one specified by verto_set_default().
 *
 * Second, verto will attempt to discern if you are already linked to any
 * of the supported implementations (to avoid wasting memory by loading
 * extra unnecessary libraries).  If you are linked to one supported
 * implementation, that implementation will be chosen.  If you are linked
 * to more than one supported implementation one of the ones linked to
 * will be chosen, but the order of the particular choice is undefined.
 *
 * Third, verto will attempt to load the compile-time default, if defined at
 * build time and available at runtime.
 *
 * Last, verto will attempt to load any implementation installed. The specific
 * order of this step is undefined.
 *
 * In all cases above, if the implementation does not support all the specified
 * features (reqtypes), it will be skipped and processing will continue from
 * where it left off. This means that if verto_new() returns non-NULL it is
 * guaranteed to support the features you specified.
 *
 * @see verto_set_default()
 * @param impl The implementation to use, or NULL.
 * @param reqtypes A bitwise or'd list of required event type features.
 * @return A new verto_ctx, or NULL on error.  Call verto_free() when done.

 * This function is essentially a singleton version of verto_new().  However,
 * since this function must return the same loop as the *_default() call of
 * the underlying implementation (if such a function exists), it is NOT a
 * global singleton, but a per-implementation singleton. For this reason, you
 * must call verto_free() when you are done with this loop. Even after calling
 * verto_free() on the default verto_ctx, you can safely call verto_default()
 * again and receive a new reference to the same (internally default) loop.
