This is very useful indeed. (I'll add that I would like to have a hook
that can be set for events that are not handled by the main event

This is something I would like to see implemented. I thought about
starting to hack such a layout but now I think I'll be waiting for
your preliminary work to be done and then I'll  jump in to help.
