   18: <p>An <b>event</b> is either the expiration of a timer, or the matching
   19: of some pattern in the input.  Events that have not happened yet are
   20: <b>pending events</b>. Pending events are created with the
   21: <code>timer</code> and <code>match</code> commands, respectively.</p>
   22: <p>Each pending event has an associated label (called the <b>target
   23: label</b>) of the event. When and if the event occurs, execution
   24: resumes starting at the target label. Events only occur during
   25: the execution of a <code>wait</code> command.</p>
   26: <p>Events are grouped into named <b>sets</b>. Events in the same
   27: set are usually related, in the sense that they represent alternate
   28: outcomes to the same situation.</p>
   29: <p>A set of pending events may be explicitly <b>cancelled</b>
   30: (i.e., forgotten) before they occur with the <b><code>cancel</code></b>
   31: command. All events in the set are cancelled.</p>
   32: <p>The other way a set of pending events may be cancelled is
   33: implicitly, when any event in the set occurs. Execution resumes
   34: at the target label associated with the event that occurred, and
   35: all other events in that set are immediately cancelled.</p>
