Because we didn't discuss it? ;-)
Seriously, though: it might be dangerous. A module that floods Emacs
with events could bring a session to its knees. And that's just based
on 5-sec thinking; I'm sure there are other "interesting"
possibilities.
I think we should have some specific design presented, and then
discuss it. Perhaps the dangers are not real, or could be kept in
check.
