Description
Add EventListener Sub Flags
EventListeners allow the addition of a preset delay before firing the callback parameter (event throttling).
However to reduce bandwith when polling a remote server, and because the number of keystrokes-, scrolling-, mousemove- or resize events is non deterministic, it is more useful to "batch" events and fire the callback once.
This may be so common in use today it may be beneficial to add it to the standard
