+/**
+ * Increase throttle amount
+ * 
+ * This will increase or decrease (if @p amount is positive or negative) the
+ * amount of "voluntary throttling" ecore will do to its main loop while
+ * running. This is intended to be used to limit animations and wakeups when
+ * in a strict power management state. The higher the current throttle value
+ * (which can be retrieved by ecore_throttle_get() ), the more throttling
+ * takes place. If the current throttle value is 0, then no throttling takes
+ * place at all.
+ * 
+ * The value represents how long the ecore main loop will sleep (in seconds)
+ * before it goes into a fully idle state waiting for events, input or
+ * timing events to wake it up. For example, if the current throttle level
+ * is 0.5, then after every time the main loop cycles and goes into idle
+ * affter processing all events, the main loop will explicitly sleep for 0.5
+ * seconds before sitting and waiting for incoming events or timeouts, thus
+ * preventing animation, async IO and network handling etc. for that period
+ * of time. Of course these events, data and timeouts will be buffered,
+ * thus not losing anything, simply delaying when they get handled by the
+ * throttle value.
+ * 
+ * Example:
+ * @code
+ * void enter_powersave(void) {
+ *    ecore_throttle_adjust(0.2);
+ *    printf("Now at throttle level: %1.3f\n", ecore_throttle_get());
+ * }
+ * 
+ * void enter_deep_powersave(void) {
+ *    ecore_throttle_adjust(0.5);
+ *    printf("Now at throttle level: %1.3f\n", ecore_throttle_get());
+ * }
+ * 
+ * void exit_powersave(void) {
+ *    ecore_throttle_adjust(-0.2);
+ *    printf("Now at throttle level: %1.3f\n", ecore_throttle_get());
+ * }
+ * 
+ * void exit_deep_powersave(void) {
+ *    ecore_throttle_adjust(-0.5);
+ *    printf("Now at throttle level: %1.3f\n", ecore_throttle_get());
+ * }
+ * @endcode
+ * 
+ * @param   amount Amount (in seconds) to adjust by
+ */
