I have very little hopes that any "automatic" scheme will bring success
here. The only model that would IMO work is to have a single-threaded
GUI (as virtually everybody else does too, for a reason), in the one
direction offloading potentially time-consuming activities triggered by
the GUI event loop to additional threads, and in the other direction
dispatching GUI activities required by non-GUI code (e.g., URP,
scripting) to the GUI event loop, explicitly coded.
