_WaitCancelFuture in windows_events.py overrides _schedule_callbacks.
C implemented Future should allow overriding _schedule_callbacks.

Since `{"_future", PyInit__future},` is not in PC/config.c, _future is not registered as builtin module. So Python 3.6b2 doesn't use it.
Instead of registering it, we should try make it split extension module (.pyd file).

I'm not so sure about this.  Maybe we can just fix _WaitCancelFuture somehow?

At least, Future class in uvloop have same API.
Most of other results seems just copy of Python source tree.
(But I didn't check all search result)

@haypo, do you know why _WaitCancelFuture overrides _schedule_callbacks() instead
of self.add_done_callback(self._unregister_wait_cb)?
_unregister_wait_cb must be called after all callbacks are called?

Oh no. I tried to forget this mess :-( It took me 2 or 3 months to
understand and fix this complex issue of cancelling a wait on
Windows...

Hum, let me check.

I found this in IocpProactor:
---
    def _wait_cancel(self, event, done_callback):
        fut = self._wait_for_handle(event, None, True)
        # add_done_callback() cannot be used because the wait may only complete
        # in IocpProactor.close(), while the event loop is not running.
        fut._done_callback = done_callback
        return fut
---

I don't understand my comment anymore /o\

I just recall that it was complex to get this crap working in all
cases, especially in corner cases.

I think _WaitCancelFuture can do same thing by overriding
callers of _schedule_callbacks.

Attached patch does it, and make _schedule_callbacks private
by renaming it to __schedule_callbacks.

Latest patch looks good.
