+/* NOTE: The old method of idle event handling added the handler using the
+ [NSRunLoop -performSelector:target:argument:order:modes] which caused
+ the invocation to occur at the begining of [NSApplication
+ -nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:expiration:inMode:dequeue:]. However,
+ the code would be scheduled for invocation with every iteration of
+ the event loop. This new method simply overrides the method. The
+ same caveats apply. In particular, by the time the event loop has
+ called this method, it usually expects to receive an event. If you
+ plan on stopping the event loop, it is wise to send an event through
+ the queue to ensure this method will return.
+ See wxEventLoop::Exit() for more information.
