+    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.
