// IDLE TIMEOUTS
//
// Because often many sockets will have the same idle timeout we will not
// use one timeout watcher per item. It is too much overhead.  Instead
// we'll use a single watcher for all sockets with the same timeout value
// and a linked list. This technique is described in the libev manual:
// http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#Be_smart_about_timeouts

// Object containing all lists, timers
// key = time in milliseconds
// value = list
var lists = {};


// the main function - creates lists on demand and the watchers associated
// with them.
