This is basically raw event territory (hidden in a nice syntax). This is very
much a you're on your own case.

But it appears there's more behind this than was said; which makes this patch
submission duplicitous and trying to sneak one past the maintainers -- that's
very much not how things are done.

I'm not taking anything like this until the Changelog reflects the true
purpose.
