No, did not notice that - and yes that solves this particular problem.
So given that by your own admission it makes sense to share the facilities at
the low level, i also argue that it makes sense to share as high up as
possible.
Are you perhaps arguing for a ->observe flag that would make 100% sure that the
default behavior for events is observe-only? That would make sense indeed.
Otherwise both cases really want to use all the same facilities for event
discovery, setup, control and potential extraction of events.
Thanks,
Ingo
