maybe. that is one method of doing delivery of events. my favorite style
is with callbacks. let the event loop figure out the way to do the
callback and who to call. your method requires you do always write your
own event dispatcher which is redundant with that guy's :)
so you queue up event requests each of which has args which select which
of your objects/method or subs get called back. much less coding on your
part. also threads can be handled easily with an optional event loop per
thread or only one thread handling events and doing interthread
communication.
