They all look the same, which means they would have to check or poll all potential sources of change.

Solution: make custom events take an integer tag

I've kept the backwards compatibility by using -1 for the default custom event (Event::Custom).

Hello @yrashk,
Thanks for your support!

I was thinking developers would be able to use:

Event Event::Special(std::string input)

directly. For instance: Event::Special("My event identifier").

Retrospectively, Special is not a very good name, and adding Event::Custom is probably a bit misleading here.

What do you think. Does this solve your need?

Note: To make your patch to work, Event::input_ should be populate so that the operator== works correctly.

Thank you! I was thinking of int to clarify that the comparisons are fast and cheap. Strings may also get abused to generate runtime identifiers.

They all look the same, which means they would have to check or poll all
potential sources of change.
