(i.e. to allow the second parameter to omit some bits that were
already signaled.)  Allowing write to write a bigger struct in the
future won't break anything.

I think I don't follow. Either the second parameter is supposed to be *newly* signaled events, in which case the events that were already signaled in the past should be ommitted, or it is meant to be *all* signaled events, in which case the current implementation is OK.
