Re: [whatwg/dom] [Proposal] Add EventTarget.getEventListeners() (#412)

I can extract an untainted `addEventListener` from an `iframe`, I can include in the documentation that it needs to be first-run, and often ad network code is ran - last - that I don't control. I don't think it's productive to try to make a claim that making code more robust is a fool's errand; whether it's part of the intentional security model of the web or not.

Is there a reason that an opt-in mechanism (at the `addEventListener` callsite, like how `passive: true` works) wouldn't be a good middle ground, where you could get the functionality you want with zero risk of breaking existing axioms, and zero risk of developers having difficulty reasoning about their code?
