Improving events API

Description

There are some things that are not easy to do with dojo/on and dojo/Evented:

  • It is not currently possible or easy to know what event handlers are registered on a given element or a given Dijit
  • It is not currently possible to dispatch custom events with names that are “forbidden”
  • It is not easy to implement future DOM event APIs transparently

As part of our API improvements towards 2.0, I think these would be good things to figure out for 1.9. What else would we like to see improve in dojo/on and dojo/Evented that we can work on now for 1.9, in preparation for making 2.0 better?

New Evented ( ​https://github.com/dojo/core/blob/master/src/Evented.ts ) and on ( ​https://github.com/dojo/core/blob/master/src/on.ts ) now exist.

For the items listed, 1 is not possible with event delegation, 2 I'm not sure of, and 3 I think we have a generally more flexible approach now.
