so while the overhead might be noticable, it doesn't apply to repeated
calls to C<ev_async_send>.
=item bool = ev_async_pending (ev_async *)
Returns a non-zero value when C<ev_async_send> has been called on the
watcher but the event has not yet been processed (or even noted) by the
event loop.
C<ev_async_send> sets a flag in the watcher and wakes up the loop. When
the loop iterates next and checks for the watcher to have become active,
it will reset the flag again. C<ev_async_pending> can be used to very
quickly check wether invoking the loop might be a good idea.
Not that this does I<not> check wether the watcher itself is pending, only
wether it has been requested to make this watcher pending.
