Hmm maybe you didn't understand the matter completely...
Basically, GetMouse() is the "old" way of doing things (which we still have to 
support, though): BViews which are children of BWindows created without the 
B_ASYNCHRONOUS_CONTOLS flag just get MouseDown() hooks called, and, after that, 
no MouseMoved() or MouseUp() events. Every MouseDown() hook has to implement 
polling in a loop (blocking the BWindow thread). So there is nothing dangerous, 
it's just a different way of doing things :)
