 *
 * Each EventId identifies a unique event scheduled with one
 * of the many Simulator::Schedule() methods. This EventId can
 * be used to cancel or remove events after they are scheduled
 * with Cancel(), Remove(), or Simulator::Cancel() or Simulator::Remove().
 *
 * The important thing to remember about this class is that
 * every variable of this type is _always_ in a valid state,
 * even when it has not been assigned an EventId coming from a
 * Simulator::Schedule() method:  calling Simulator::Cancel(), IsRunning(),
 * IsExpired() or passing around instances of this object
 * will not result in crashes or memory leaks.
