Actually, that is a good idea worth implementing.  So I need to do one of
two things:

1. Adopt a new notation for events, probably one you suggested.

2. Change the event system so that events are implemented as properties and
methods -- this is also doable, I did it in a crude fashion in the original
Diamond 1.0 Standard Class Library. Perhaps I could have an event keyword to
define a specialized property that stores the routine_ids of the
object-specific event handlers and specialized methods implementing other
aspects of the event system.
