/**
 * EventSequencer class with on-event and after-event listeners.
 *
 * After-event listeners are fired as soon as possible after the
 * corresponding native event. They are similar to the setTimeout(f, 0)
 * idiom, except that they are guaranteed to execute before any subsequent
 * on-event listener. Therefore, events are executed in the 'right order'.
 *
 * This matters when many events are added to the task queue in one go.
 * For instance, browsers often queue 'keydown' and 'keypress' in immediate
 * sequence, so a setTimeout(f, 0) defined in the keydown listener will run
 * *after* the keypress listener (i.e. in the 'wrong' order). EventSequencer
 * ensures that this does not happen.
 *
 * All these listeners receive the jQuery event as an argument. If an on-event
 * listener needs to pass information to a corresponding after-event listener,
 * it can do so by adding properties into the jQuery event itself.
 *
 * There are also 'onLoop' and 'afterLoop' listeners, which only fire once per
 * Javascript event loop iteration, respectively before and after all the
 * other listeners fire.
 *
 * For further event loop / task queue information, see:
 * http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/webappapis.html#event-loops
 *
 * @class ve.EventSequencer

/**
 *
 * To fire after-event listeners promptly, the EventSequencer may need to
 * listen to some events for which it has no registered on-event or
 * after-event listeners. For instance, to ensure an after-keydown listener
 * is be fired before the native keyup action, you must include both
 * 'keydown' and 'keyup' in the eventNames Array.
