Reactor wraps epoll (Linux) and kqueue (macOS) behind a uniform
API. Use it to build single-threaded servers that handle many concurrent
connections from one OS thread. See the module docstring on Reactor for
an end-to-end example.
For multicore servers, use HttpServer.serve(handler, num_workers=N)
with N >= 2 and size N with num_cpus() (total logical CPUs) or
default_worker_count() (sensible default for IO-bound handlers).
