I don't know what the event interface was designed for; it predates my
involvement with GDB.  The mailing list archives are a good reference
at moments like this.

In any case, I don't think it's a widely adopted infrastructure and I
don't think it's doing much good.  I'd rather add something more
specific, and see about removing both the hooks and the events, unless
someone can give me a reason to the contrary.  Are events currently
used?  For what?
