 Event handler macros are easy: they're always of the form "event class" +
"Handler". But I admit that I often have to lookup the event types as well.
It's really unfortunate they don't [always] have the same names as event
tables macros.

 Yes, this definitely should be done. As usual, any contributions would be
welcome.
