Is it possible to have an event source that polls? What I mean is that
it only generates an event when the user tries to get an event from
its queue (or it blocks if there is no event).
I was thinking of things like mouse moves or joystick moves - if the
computer's a bit too slow it could flood the queue with useless events
(e.g. I think a USB HID device can generate a new report every
millisecond)
