Pleas don't get me wrong ! I did not intend to nag on this. I just used 
LCL-fpGUI as an example here.

Unfortunately, as you know, I got stuck when my trying to enhance the 
help on TApplication.QueuAsyncCall. Once I can do this, I'll see what 
help can be written on PostMessage. In fact in the LCL,  PostMessage 
just queues a "Message" (a set of four integers) in the appropriate 
queue. On the other site there seems to be a hook between the 
"procedure... message" FPC language construct and the  WidgetType event 
scheduler that allows for waking up the main thread and firing the user 
code attached to the appropriate "procedure... message" statement 
(supposedly somehow via Dispatch).
