Unfortunately, it seems that's not possible either: macOS itself runs a
nested event loop inside HIToolBoxTrackMenuCommon whenever the menu bar
is opened, which seems to involve Carbon. I don't know anything about
Carbon, so someone else will have to figure out how to exit such an
event loop.
Otherwise, the code works fine, so I installed it for GNUstep (where
menu tracking is done in the NS event loop) in the hopes that they will
implement `willHighlightItem' at some point in the future.
Thanks.
