Motivation
During registration, the
Dispatcherplaces all dispatch targets into a hash keyed on target. Before #111, event targets were always of typeEventTarget. With that change, event targets could also be of typeString(i.e.,"*"). In the implementation ofHash, objects of these two types can be compared using theeql?method when they end up in the same bucket behind the scenes.EventTarget.eql?can only compare objects that have anidandtypefield like itself. Because aStringdoes not have these fields, it sometimes fails with a specific error while trying to register a dispatch handler:Summary
