 * the same event and will be executed in order of $priority.  Any handler
 * returning false will halt the execution chain.
 *
 * This function is called with the event name, event type, and handler function name.
 * Setting the optional $priority allows plugin authors to specify when the

 *
 * The callback function 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 functions registered
 * with $event = all will be called for all events of type $object_type.  Similarly,

 * $value, and $params.
 *
 *  - str $hook The name of the hook.
 *  - str $type The type of hook.
