I've noticed that fwt has the concept of an Event, and EventListeners. It would be interesting to consider whether there should be a third kind of slot called Event, which modeled not just gui events, but any kind of event.
Change-of-value on a Property could be considered a form of event too. So we could have something called a Listener, which could listen to both Properties and Events. Thoughts?
That's an interesting discussion. Does the ongoing symbols/facets redesign address everything in `http://fantom.org/sidewalk/topic/706`? I must admit that I do not yet fully grok everything that is going on.

Does the ongoing symbols/facets redesign address everything in #706?
No - there are lots of ambitious ideas in that post. The current proposed design is just the absolute basics required to get Fantom whipped into something we can live with for 1.0.
