Detailed Description

Virtual class for event types.

Minimum requirement: Events must be destructible. Casting events from various sources to void* (aka type-punning) breaks [strict-aliasing][1] and is undefined behavior in modern C++. Therefore, we require a common supertype for all events. We will cast them to this common supertype, event* instead.
