In Cocoa, the event model is so powerful that you don't have to worry about
it. It is a non-issue. Cocoa is not really comparable to Carbon in this
case because the combination of the NSRunLoop class, the NSApplication
class, the responder chain, and Objective-C messaging makes something like
the Carbon event model totally irrelevant in most cases. The Carbon event
model is modeled as much as possible after Cocoa, but it is a poor
substitute.
