I have a Cocoa thread waiting on events in a run loop. But I want to

I realise I could write my own custom run loop input source, but it
seems like overkill if I could install a simple run loop observer
and somehow just wake it up when I want it to re-initialize. Is
there a way to do that?
You don't have to write a custom run-loop source. Just add an NSPort
instance as a source and message it for the "kick".
Cheers,
