Sorry I keep plaguing this with comments and files, but I got to thinking, anyone should be able to override _loop_actions() and implement what they need in the loop. While it's probably a bad idea in most cases, there may be legitimate needs and it's always good to allow the flexibility. So, I'm adding one more patch that changes the name to loop_actions() and adds it to the list of methods that can be overridden in the BaseServer docstring. If you like it, keep it, if not, just use the last one.
