Please, rename the public API to RunOne to outline the relationship with
Simulator::Run better.

OK.

After filing this bug I discovered a potential solution that may allow me to do
my viz thing without this API, so I put this on hold until it is sorted out.

I still think RunOne is a poor name.  RunOne?  RunOne what?  ProcessOneEvent
was fine.  How about RunOneEvent or RunFirstEvent?

Please don't take the private member method ProcessOneEvent and just make it
public and callable by anyone.  The multithreaded and real time schedulers
re-implement ProcessOneEvent treating it as a private method.  This is not
going to work.  If you are going to add a new bit of public API, please do that
and define a new method.

RunOneEvent would be fine with me.
