This allows libraries that require access to reactor related types to depend on this crate without having to depend on the entirety of Tokio. For example, libraries that implement their custom I/O resource will need to access `Registration` or `PollEvented`.

tokio-reactor
Event loop that drives Tokio I/O resources.
Overview
The reactor is the engine that drives asynchronous I/O resources (like TCP and
UDP sockets). It is backed by mio and acts as a bridge between mio and
futures.
The crate provides:
-
Reactoris the main type of this crate. It performs the event loop logic. -
Handleprovides a reference to a reactor instance. -
RegistrationandPollEventedallow third parties to implement I/O resources that are driven by the reactor.
Application authors will not use this crate directly. Instead, they will use the
tokio crate. Library authors should only depend on tokio-reactor if they
are building a custom I/O resource.
