I thought about that, but that's harder to explain since that flag would
then suppress an exception to the normal handling of event.
It's easier to say: events are sent to everyone, but if you set this flag,
then we make this exception.
I suspect that most applications do not need to set this flag anyway, only
applications like qv4l2 that create a control panel need it.
