Description

Currently you have to create a type erased event in order to have a resource wait_for it. Does it make sense to allow resources to wait_for their own event type to avoid this, maybe even wait_for another resource of their own type as syntactic sugar?

Research direction

Start by locating the resource wait_for and type-erased event APIs in the C++ library. Determine whether waiting on a resource's own event type or another resource can be specified unambiguously, then document the chosen behavior and add the relevant coverage once the API is agreed.
