This is the model I followed with Winapi, where it's also important to
ensure that callbacks happen on the GUI thread. (This requires a
peculiarly Windows hack, using a message queue on a window to transfer
stuff to the GUI thread)
OK, the downside is that you can only do one thing at a time, but then
coroutines can be used on top of this to maintain the illusion of
concurrency.
