You can add things like network or certain other activities to this as
well - I guess you wouldn't like your system falling asleep while
burning a DVD, downloading a large file, or playing back a movie. Or
see the screenblanker instead of the movie.
Anyway, I definitely want to work on such an API for Haiku at some
point.
