Here's some:

http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-8.0.1/twisted/internet/base.py#L195

It's somewhat complicated by the addition of timeout support on top of an
API which doesn't support timeouts, but it's one of only two uses of the
API in Twisted and I think the other is even more confusing. :)
