I see your point.

But events are essentially an API and a well defined contract is better
than an implicit one. I think we're going to see a lot code that looks
like this:

  if not 'my stuff' in event.extra:
     return
  doSomething()

OTOH, if we're talking about different event types, only the applicable
handlers gets called.

I also think this is being driven by the "I can imagine..." syndrome.

Anyway, I'm done spouting :-)
