NSRunLoop supports distributed object connections and timers only.
It also supports monitoring file descriptors to support NSFileHandle

blocks and sends a notification on readiness, but no one would ever
actually implement it like that).
Well, this is basically how CFRunLoop version 0 sources work, so it's
no surprise. Clever implementations use GCD instead of separate blocking
threads.
My next step is to properly implement CFSocket with the help of GCD, as
soon as I find out how to properly check for libdispatch in
autotools-based projects. I'd love to ditch that for CMake.
