 * returning false will halt the execution chain.
 *
 * This function is called with the event name, event type, and handler callback name.
 * Setting the optional $priority allows plugin authors to specify when the
 * callback should be run.  Priorities for plugins should be 1-1000.
 *
 * The callback is passed 3 arguments when called: $event, $type, and optional $params.
 *
 * $event is the name of event being emitted.
 * $type is the type of event or object concerned.
 * $params is an optional parameter passed that can include a related object.  See
 * specific event documentation for details on which events pass what parameteres.
 *
 * @tip If a priority isn't specified it is determined by the order the handler was
 * registered relative to the event and type.  For plugins, this generally means
 * the earlier the plugin is in the load order, the earlier the priorities are for
 * any event handlers.
 *
 * @tip $event and $object_type can use the special keyword 'all'.  Handler callbacks registered
 * with $event = all will be called for all events of type $object_type.  Similarly,
 * callbacks registered with $object_type = all will be called for all events of type
 * $event, regardless of $object_type.  If $event and $object_type both are 'all', the
 * handler callback will be called for all events.
 *
 * @tip Event handler callbacks are considered in the follow order:
 *  - Specific registration where 'all' isn't used.
 *  - Registration where 'all' is used for $event only.
 *  - Registration where 'all' is used for $type only.
 *  - Registration where 'all' is used for both.
 *
 * @warning If you use the 'all' keyword, you must have logic in the handler callback to
 * test the passed parameters before taking an action.

 *
 * The callback is passed 4 arguments when called: $hook, $type, $value, and $params.
 *
 *  - str $hook The name of the hook.
 *  - str $type The type of hook.
