// Given a set of Events, Perform repeatedly iterates over the set and finds the
// subset of ready Events (that is, all of their predecessors have
// occurred). From that subset, it pseudo-randomly selects an Event to perform.
// If the Event is a send event, the send occurs and Perform recalculates the ready
// set. If the event is a receive event, Perform waits for a value from any of the
// channels that are contained in any of the events. That value is then matched
// against the ready events. The first event that matches is considered to
// have occurred and Perform recalculates the ready set.
//
// Perform continues this until all Events have occurred.
//
// Note that uncollected goroutines may still be reading from any of the
// channels read from after Perform returns.
//
// For example, consider the problem of testing a function that reads values on
// one channel and echos them to two output channels. To test this we would
// create three events: a send event and two receive events. Each of the
// receive events must list the send event as a predecessor but there is no
// ordering between the receive events.

//  recv2 := NewEvent("recv 2", []*Event{send}, Recv{c, 1})
//  Perform(0, []*Event{send, recv1, recv2})
//
// At first, only the send event would be in the ready set and thus Perform will
// send a value to the input channel. Now the two receive events are ready and
// Perform will match each of them against the values read from the output channels.
//
// It would be invalid to list one of the receive events as a predecessor of
// the other. At each receive step, all the receive channels are considered,
// thus Perform may see a value from a channel that is not in the current ready
// set and fail.
