The _get name does not really correlate with what is happening -- ie., 
allocate a new event and add it to the queue. There is no reference 
taken either.

Similarly here with the _put. In this case the function is moving the 
event from one list to another. And how about something else for the 
name besides iter -- oe, or oevent?
