        Um right ;-) well - at least - I -assume- it instantiates the relevant
Yield class which recursively drops the SolarMutex, then spins the
mainloop and after processing an event (prolly a cursor blink would be a
fall-back timeout ;-) it comes back, or perhaps doesn't come back
because another thread got ownership of the mainloop / solar-mutex.

        Just another good example of why we badly need a minimal, small,
simple, easy-to-understand, Objects-with-methods-not-meta-interfaces,
cleanish API with an ABI break from the past ;-) [ and simultaneously
IMHO to adapt UNO to target a superset of well-defined
exposing-scripting functionality ].

        ATB,

                Michael.
