-------------------------+---------------------
 Stem's integ tests presently use tor's BW events to check its ability to
 receive asynchronous events. This is because BW events are reliably
 emitted each second, and as far as I'm aware it's the only way to reliably
 get an event.

 This is essentially a sleep in our tests. Better would be to have an event
 we can trigger on demand. This would speed up our tests a little and
 improve their reliability...

 Sebastian had the neat idea for new PING event type that can be triggered
 by calling a controller method. But perhaps we already have a triggerable
 event I'm overlooking?
