namespace Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher;
* Event is the base class for classes containing event data.
* This class contains no event data. It is used by events that do not pass
* state information to an event handler when an event is raised.
* You can call the method stopPropagation() to abort the execution of
* further listeners in your event listener.
