I like "not affect any current users of this class, since I believe the
absence of handlers should result in the class functioning exactly as it does
now" That makes a lot of sense.
Note that I was talking about unexpected exceptions, not unchecked
exceptions. Not quite the same thing. An error handler can manage a runtime
exception like any other.
I still do wonder whether we need EventListener at all, now that we have
lambdas. FileAlterationObserver does use lambdas these days, for instance. In
some ways lambdas aren't as nice as EventListener but they are in the JDK and
are much more likely to be familiar to devs. To the extent EventListener is
less useful in a post-lambda world, I'm hesitant to add further code, API
surface, and maintenance burden to the class.
