Timestamped events OTOH, could be very useful, especially in cases where

It also lets you deliver timer events through the main event loop. When
a
timer expires an event is (logically) inserted into the event queue in
the
proper order and the action invoked by the timer will take place in its
proper order with all in put events. Like you said, this approach to
input
events and timers is useful when maintaining the proper order of actions
is important.
