Over the weekend, I learned that in modern JS, you can just make up your own events and create listeners to respond to them, and *nobody can stop you*. Like, you can add a listener for an event you call `control-reset` or `text-edit` or `steve` or *whatever*, and then when something on the page dispatches that event at the listener, the listener will act! It’s event anarchy!
