By convention, if you have an attribute `foo`, you can always register
for `onfoo` -- the system takes care of this by magic for plain
attributes. But, if you write a setter for `foo`, the system will not
automatically create the corresponding event -- you have to do that
(and send it from your setter) yourself.
I forgot this when I first amended the <state> API to use `applied`
instead of `apply` as the state of the state. Recently I fixed that,
by declaring the `onapplied` event in state and making sure to send
`onapplied` any time the value of `applied` changes (whether from
setting the attribute, or from calling the apply or remove methods,
which update the attribute). <state>'s API is still too clever by
1/2, but I think it is better than before (when it was too clever by
at least one full measure).
[P.S., we've discussed before the wisdom of requiring the custom
setter to send the event. The claim is there might be _one_ case,
where you want finer control over when the event is sent, so we can't
have events automatically sent for custom setters. I think this might
be that one hypothetical case.]

So we need an "onapplied" event?

Sorry. Guess I hadn't saved the buffer. Can you try again?
