addEventListener naming

>From this thread on whatwg:

and per Hixie's request that I re-direct this particular discussion here:

    http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2009-April/019381.html

The DOM function "addEventListener" is probably too long. It should,
instead, be named something much shorter owing to the amount of
exercise it receives. Further, it should default the last parameter to
be "false" (non-capture-phase). This call:

    node.addEventListener("click", function(e) { /* ... */ }, false);

Should be able to be written as (e.g.):

    node.listen("click", function(e) { /* ... */ });

Similarly, "removeEventListener" should be aliased as "unlisten". As a
further help, the common-case operation of listening-for-a-single-call
is currently written as:

    var h = function(e) {
        /* .... */
        node.removeEventListener(h);
    };
    node.addEventListener("click", h);

And given how common this operation it, it should probably have an alias:

    node.listenOnce("click", function(e) { /* ... */ });
