A blocking call that abstracts away the event loop
        initialisation from you.

        If you want more control over the event loop then this
        function should not be used. Use :meth:`start` coroutine
        or :meth:`connect` + :meth:`login`.

        Roughly Equivalent to: ::

            try:
                loop.run_until_complete(start(*args, **kwargs))
            except KeyboardInterrupt:
                loop.run_until_complete(logout())
                # cancel all tasks lingering
            finally:
                loop.close()

        .. warning::

            This function must be the last function to call due to the fact that it
            is blocking. That means that registration of events or anything being
            called after this function call will not execute until it returns.
