well, we all agree there will be op code granularity event support in
perl6. you can just set the event flag every time throught the op loop
and a callback per op code can be made. the event handling code would have a
flag set that causes the op loop event flag to be set.
by hooking various callbacks into the event handling code, we can keep
the event checking to a single flag check in the op loop.
