Sure, or perhaps "process the interrupt in inject_pending_event".

Regarding the two spaces, it used to a pretty strict rule in the US with 
typewriters.  It helps readability of monospaced fonts 
(https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/two-spaces-after-period/), and code is 
mostly monospaced...  But well, the title of the article says it all.
