Re: [whatwg/dom] Proposal: rate limiting event listeners (debounce / throttle) (Issue #1298)

@keithamus I don't disagree, but the original proposal quite intentionally limited its scope to the event context - in part because that seemed like a potential quick win[^1], but also for ergonomic reasons: Even if debouncing and throttling were available in some other form (via observables[^2], as stand-alone functions etc.), exposing such functionality via corresponding `addEventListener` options would still add considerable value IMHO.

[^1]: Unfortunately, the enthusiasm here and elsewhere has yet to translate into interest by implementers though. Despite various efforts, it remains unclear how to get feedback from browser vendors.

[^2]: FWIW, both debouncing and throttling had already been mentioned in WICG/observable#35.
