However, what if the long processes are (like my need earlier) are in a plugin or dylib, and you'd like feedback during the process?


If the dylib is implemented to allow feedback, which means it should return to the main event loop of the host (as it should), i.e., giving time after calling you, then your swallow event implementation will provide the necessary feedback. If the dylib does not, then the dylib is not properly designed and probably will provide grief in other environments, not only in RB.
