  Classdesc

  A simplified implementation of the W3C DOM Level 2 EventTarget interface.

  See

  https://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113/events.html#Events-EventTarget

  There are two important simplifications compared to the specification:

  1. The handling of useCapture in addEventListener and removeEventListener. There is no real capture model.
  2. The handling of stopPropagation and preventDefault on dispatchEvent. There is no event target hierarchy. When a listener calls stopPropagation or preventDefault on an event object, it means that no more listeners after this one will be called. Same as when the listener returns false.
