doEvent(sim)
Character string for the simList simulation object.
Optional. Either Logical or character. If logical, entire simList
will be printed at each event. If a character string, then it can be one
of the many simList accessors, such as events, params.
It can also be any R expression that will be evaluated with access
to the sim object.
If "current" is used, then it will be a compact list of the events
as they go by.
Returns the modified simList object.
Calls the module corresponding to the event call, and executes the event.
Based on code from chapter 7.8.3 of Matloff (2011): "Discrete event simulation". 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).
