/**
 * Post specified LLSD event on the specified LLEventPump, then suspend for a

 * convenience: the difference between this function and the sequence
 * @code
 * requestPump.post(myEvent);
 * LLSD reply = suspendUntilEventOn(replyPump);
 * @endcode
 * is that the sequence above fails if the reply is posted immediately on
 * @a replyPump, that is, before <tt>requestPump.post()</tt> returns. In the
 * sequence above, the running coroutine isn't even listening on @a replyPump
 * until <tt>requestPump.post()</tt> returns and @c suspendUntilEventOn() is
 * entered. Therefore, the coroutine completely misses an immediate reply
 * event, making it suspend indefinitely.
 *
 * By contrast, postAndSuspend() listens on the @a replyPump @em before posting
 * the specified LLSD event on the specified @a requestPump.
 *
 * @param event LLSD data to be posted on @a requestPump
 * @param requestPump an LLEventPump on which to post @a event. Pass either
 * the LLEventPump& or its string name. However, if you pass a
 * default-constructed @c LLEventPumpOrPumpName, we skip the post() call.
 * @param replyPump an LLEventPump on which postAndSuspend() will listen for a
 * reply. Pass either the LLEventPump& or its string name. The calling
 * coroutine will suspend until that reply arrives. (If you're concerned about a
 * reply that might not arrive, please see also LLEventTimeout.)
 * @param replyPumpNamePath specifies the location within @a event in which to
 * store <tt>replyPump.getName()</tt>. This is a strictly optional convenience
 * feature; obviously you can store the name in @a event "by hand" if desired.
 * @a replyPumpNamePath can be specified in any of four forms:
 * * @c isUndefined() (default-constructed LLSD object): do nothing. This is
 *   the default behavior if you omit @a replyPumpNamePath.
 * * @c isInteger(): @a event is an array. Store <tt>replyPump.getName()</tt>
 *   in <tt>event[replyPumpNamePath.asInteger()]</tt>.
 * * @c isString(): @a event is a map. Store <tt>replyPump.getName()</tt> in
 *   <tt>event[replyPumpNamePath.asString()]</tt>.
 * * @c isArray(): @a event has several levels of structure, e.g. map of
 *   maps, array of arrays, array of maps, map of arrays, ... Store
 *   <tt>replyPump.getName()</tt> in
 *   <tt>event[replyPumpNamePath[0]][replyPumpNamePath[1]]...</tt> In other
 *   words, examine each array entry in @a replyPumpNamePath in turn. If it's an
 *   <tt>LLSD::String</tt>, the current level of @a event is a map; step down to
 *   that map entry. If it's an <tt>LLSD::Integer</tt>, the current level of @a
 *   event is an array; step down to that array entry. The last array entry in
 *   @a replyPumpNamePath specifies the entry in the lowest-level structure in
 *   @a event into which to store <tt>replyPump.getName()</tt>.

 * This function waits for a reply on either of two specified LLEventPumps.

 *
 * While we could have implemented the single-pump variant in terms of this
 * one, there's enough added complexity here to make it worthwhile to give the
 * single-pump variant its own straightforward implementation. Conversely,
 * though we could use preprocessor logic to generate n-pump overloads up to
 * BOOST_COROUTINE_WAIT_MAX, we don't foresee a use case. This two-pump
 * overload exists because certain event APIs are defined in terms of a reply
 * LLEventPump and an error LLEventPump.
 *
 * The LLEventWithID return value provides not only the received event, but
 * the index of the pump on which it arrived (0 or 1).
 *
 * @note
 * I'd have preferred to overload the name postAndSuspend() for both signatures.
 * But consider the following ambiguous call:
 * @code
 * postAndSuspend(LLSD(), requestPump, replyPump, "someString");
 * @endcode
 * "someString" could be converted to either LLSD (@a replyPumpNamePath for
 * the single-pump function) or LLEventOrPumpName (@a replyPump1 for two-pump
 * function).
 *
 * It seems less burdensome to write postAndSuspend2() than to write either
 * LLSD("someString") or LLEventOrPumpName("someString").
