And now... I understand it works differently. A auto-reset event works
like I claimed, I think, but a non-auto-reset event just doesn't get
back to unsignaled automatically, without claiming any actual thread
gets released or not. Of course, if you leave the event signaled long
enough, eventually all waiting threads will be released, but there's
no way of telling how long to wait.

So now I plan to implement it completely different, making both
_signal and _broadcast work.
