Design / discuss event-system to inform plugins as well as internal modules of any activity

[elkowar]

Plugins will need to react to events such as insertion, deletion, cursor movement, etc.
Similarly, things like a jumplist would need to remember cursor position after any jump and/or text insert action.
There are definitely a lot more of those things.
We should discuss a general event-system for these things, allowing us to modularize out any non-core components by having them simply register event-listeners and work in the background. Most, if not all things that rely on this can probably be expressed as plugins!

Update: Event system has been discussed a good bit now. However, more detailed discussions on what events should exist and how the API should look still need to take place.
