tkProcessEvent is just a wrapper for Cocoa event dispatch; it doesn't 
run any Tcl procedures. See tkMacOSXEvent.c. I suspect it's designed 
that way to put everything in one place.

See http://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview?name=3028676fff for discussion by 
Daniel Steffen of the notifier design.

Given the data points I've outlined, I don't think that changing 
tkProcessEvent will have any useful effect, as it already conforms (as 
far as I can tell) to your prescription--no actual Tcl events or 
procedures are executed here.
