	Well to quote Inside Mac, Page I-257:
	"If no event of any of the designated types is available,
	GetNextEvent returns a null event"

	and Page I-258:
	"Before reporting an event to your application, GetNextEvent first
	calls the Desk Manager function SystemEvent to see whether the
	system wants to intercept and respond to the event.  If so, or if
	the event being reported is a null event, GetNextEvent returns a
	function result of FALSE;"

	While it doesn't explicitly say that the event will be turned into
	a null event, it also certainly doesn't imply that it will.
