    NOTE ABOUT wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor LOGIC
    ------------------------------------------

    The YieldFor() function helps to avoid re-entrancy problems and problems
    caused by out-of-order event processing
    (see "wxYield-like problems" and "wxProgressDialog+threading BUG" wx-dev threads).

    The logic behind YieldFor() is simple: it analyzes the queue of the native
    events generated by the underlying GUI toolkit and picks out and processes
    only those matching the given mask.

    It's important to note that YieldFor() is used to selectively process the
    events generated by the NATIVE toolkit.
    Events syntethized by wxWidgets code or by user code are instead selectively
    processed thanks to the logic built into wxEvtHandler::ProcessPendingEvents().
    In fact, when wxEvtHandler::ProcessPendingEvents gets called from inside a
    YieldFor() call, wxEventLoopBase::IsEventAllowedInsideYield is used to decide
    if the pending events for that event handler can be processed.
    If all the pending events associated with that event handler result as "not processable",
    the event handler "delays" itself calling wxEventLoopBase::DelayPendingEventHandler
    (so it's moved: m_handlersWithPendingEvents => m_handlersWithPendingDelayedEvents).
    Last, wxEventLoopBase::ProcessPendingEvents() before exiting moves the delayed
    event handlers back into the list of handlers with pending events
    (m_handlersWithPendingDelayedEvents => m_handlersWithPendingEvents) so that
    a later call to ProcessPendingEvents() (possibly outside the YieldFor() call)
    will process all pending events as usual.
