Even then, I'd prefer a naming convention plus a global Event registry
than relying on inspect, both for implementation and (mostly)
documentation reasons. It's good if a human can browse through a list
of a few dozen names and immediately know that
CamelCasedNameEndingWithEvent is an Event subclass. It's also good to
be able to find in one place the explicit mapping of magic numbers to
classes rather than searching in the whole file (or worse, multiple
files) for it. YMMV.
