Yes, and a very good one, for which I don't have an immediate answer. And
in this case I'd fall back on a safe position: don't have a nested event
loop; they make things much more complex and error-prone :-)
Seems like this is a tradeoff between minimizing algorithm complexity and
minimizing the degree to which you're relying on the system's
characteristics and writing weird code to mimic being in the normal event
loop. No easy answer, particularly not in a system which isn't static.
Predicting the future is hard, and besides in the pre-IPO quiet period
we're not allowed to do that anyway!
