Something like that, yes.  It wouldn't be a keyboard queue,
so much as a unified event queue.  Currently Emacs's low
level is confusing, since it's getting notifications
via signals and via reads.  It'd be nicer if there was just
one way to get notified, and if most of the low-level code
didn't have to worry about being interrupted by signal handlers.

I don't have a concrete suggestion, and maybe the whole idea
is a pipe dream....
