Description

In version 0.30 it's no longer possible to get the control flow from the EventLoop with control_flow(), but it's still possible to set_control_flow(). Seems inconsistent or is it an oversight?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the version 0.30 EventLoop API around control_flow() and set_control_flow(), then inspect related tests or documentation for the intended behavior. Done means the API consistently supports the expected way to read or manage the current control flow, with coverage for the relevant behavior.
