+ Enter a polling loop that only terminates after all open channels
+ have been closed. All arguments are optional. The \var{timeout}
+ argument sets the timeout parameter for the appropriate
+ \function{select()} or \function{poll()} call, measured in seconds;
+ the default is 30 seconds. The \var{use_poll} parameter, if true,
+ indicates that \function{poll()} should be used in preference to
+ \function{select()} (the default is false). The \var{map} parameter
+ is a dictionary that gives a list of channels to watch. As channels
+ are closed they are deleted from their map. If \var{map} is
+ omitted, a global map is used.
