Internal function called from spades.
doEvent(sim, debug = FALSE, notOlderThan)Character string for the simList simulation object.
Optional logical flag or character vector indicating what to print to
console at each event. See details.
Default is to use the value in getOption("spades.debug").
Date or time. Passed to reproducible::Cache to update the cache.
Default is NULL, meaning don't update the cache.
If Sys.time() is provided, then it will force a recache,
i.e., remove old value and replace with new value.
Ignored if cache is FALSE.
Returns the modified simList object.
Calls the module corresponding to the event call, and executes the event.
Here, we implement a simulation in a more modular fashion so it's easier to add submodules to the simulation. We use S4 classes and methods, and use `data.table` instead of `data.frame` to implement the event queue (because it is much faster).
