Re: [whatwg/dom] document.createEvent() supports lots of events that most UAs do not support initializers for (#362) from Domenic Denicola on 2017-04-20 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from April 2017)

I have mixed feelings about BeforeUnloadEvent. On the one hand, constructors are a good thing, and maybe people want it for mocking or something. On the other hand, beforeunload is a terrible event that nobody should use, so making it more "magic" by making it only browser-constructible might be nice.

Given that nobody implements a constructor, I'm not sure it's worth adding one. I'm not sure where that leaves us for createEvent though.
