deferred event

A deferred Event is an event that is not sent immediately, but at the beginning of the next event loop.

For example, this code:

[gb.markdown].Markup.ProcessCode.1104: Cannot load component 'gb.highlight': cannot find component

prints the following when you click on the button MyButton:
Click
GotFocus

The MyTextBox_GotFocus event handler is raised after the MyButton_Click has finished, when the next event loop begins.
