IMHO, it is not any framework's job to check for this. It is a programmer
error. You don't need to babysit programmers so much. Not if the cost is
adding new APIs.
I agree with Andrew, if we open this precedent, next thing we know, Python
has to provide callbacks for any internal state changes. Why not callbacks
for when modules are imported? Etc. etc. It leads to API noise. Doesn't
seem to be justified in this case, since I would guess almost all
applications only change event loop policy once, during startup, and never
again.
