+    Notice that there can be more than one event loop at any given moment, e.g.
+    an event handler called from the main loop can show a modal dialog, which
+    starts its own loop resulting in two nested loops, with the modal dialog
+    being the active one (its IsRunning() returns @true). And a handler for a
+    button inside the modal dialog can, of course, create another modal dialog
+    with its own event loop and so on. So in general event loops form a stack
+    and only the event loop at the top of the stack is considered to be active.
+    It is also the only loop that can be directly asked to terminate by calling
+    Exit() (which is done by wxDialog::EndModal()), an outer event loop can't
+    be stopped while an inner one is still running. It is however possible to
+    ask an outer event loop to terminate as soon as all its nested loops exit
+    and the control returns back to it by using ScheduleExit().
