It would be lovely if it could be true but different OSs have
different approaches and it can be very difficult bordering on
impossible to get everything the same. For example, RISC OS simply
doesn't give you key up and downs in the GUI interface. It _will_
provide ultra-low level events for that sort of thing but you have no
idea if the event really applies to your particular application. _Very_
annoying.
