Re: Not thread safe events?

In CarbonEvents.h there are "Not thread safe" near every carbon
event. What's the purpose of this in regards to events and what
exactly does it mean? I assume I can post events from a secondary
thread. Example:

/*
 *  kEventClassKeyboard / kEventRawKeyDown
 *
 *  Mac OS X threading:
 *    Not thread safe

Actually, it really has no meaning. It's text that is automatically generated by the tool that generates the header files, but it doesn't really make sense to speak of an event as being thread-safe or thread- unsafe.
