Sorry guys -- slurs that don't extend to the final tied note are a
massive pet peeve of mine. For starters, they make it much more

not a "fast event" -- slurs indicate phrasing.

Yes and no. Consider: a quarter note slurred to a succession of 17 tied
whole notes. The "phrase" consists only of the first two notes;
extending the slur to the last whole note (especially across multiple
system breaks) would be IMO an absurdity.
That said, I will agree that *most* of the time, Darcy is right. But
situations like that described above are not all that rare.
