Yeah, it would be nice to avoid another push back into July by getting some
feedback now for June; it would be great to squeeze it into May. I'm not
talking about a review, but maybe a couple of "I hate this" or "This works well"
or "Give up coding" :) The implementation of the events (as well as when they
were object hooks) is actually very simple, so a quick glance can probably raise
most concerns. There is very little going on.

In the end, something like this can be done several different ways (choice here
is a matter of taste & style). It would be nice to iron out the API and focus
on other aspects; namely is this general concept appealing enough.
