Ah I see. It would be nice if a BLooper could listen to and dispatch
multiple sources of events though - i.e. not only BMessages from a
port, but also readiness notifications on sockets. Other platforms'
runloops provide this and it's quite a clean model, since you can keep
everything on one thread.
wait_for_objects() (c.f. OS.h) can technically do that, but not within
the looper model; ergo, you'd have to manually handle subsequently
retrieving the message from the port and forward it on to an actual
looper for message processing, if you wanted to go that route.
