Really? I can't find the rationale for this in this thread, is it to avoid `.preventDefault()` doing nothing and `.currentTarget` being `null`? Not being able to tell what `type` of Event we received which would prevent any use of `Promise.race()`, and not being able to tell on which target it fired nor to get any data from it seems like a bigger problem, no?

And to participate in the bikeshedding, I like to call my event promisifier `waitForEvent`, the iterator one could be `waitForEvents`.
