Rename this to something like *_evstrm as this doesn't really work
unless we have the event stream. Another one would be *_wfet.

This should be a bool.

Not sure there's much to say here, this depends on the actual interface
introduced by patch 1. If we make some statements about granularity of
some time_cond_expr check, we'll have to take that into account.
