In prototype and jQuery el.on(ev, handler) works and is an alias for adding
an event listener.

I'd agree it's probably not worthwhile on it's own.

Since both jQuery and prototype allowing an optional second argument that
filters the event target for event delegation and may be worthwhile to add
that instead.

The exact semantics of filtering / event delegation would be up for
discussion.

Would it be worthwhile to have some kind of event delegation mechanism?
