/* Run a task in an async thread, but process result in GUI event loop
   -------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. put AsyncGuiQueue instance inside a dialog:
        AsyncGuiQueue guiQueue;

    2. schedule async task and synchronous continuation:
        guiQueue.processAsync(evalAsync, evalOnGui);

    Alternative: wxWidgets' inter-thread communication (wxEvtHandler::QueueEvent) https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Inter-Thread_and_Inter-Process_communication
            => don't bother, probably too many MT race conditions lurking around                          */
