#984: inconsistent scoping rules with events
------------------------+---------------------
 Reporter:  dmandelb    |       Type:  Problem

 This works as expected:
 {{{
 module Foo;

 event foo()
 {
         print("foo!");
 }

 event bro_init()
 {
         event foo();
 }
 }}}

 But this doesn't print anything:
 {{{
 module Foo;

 global foo: event();

 event foo()
 {
         print("foo!");
 }

 event bro_init()
 {
         event foo();
 }
 }}}

 This does though:
 {{{
 module Foo;

 global foo: event();

 event foo()
 {
         print("foo!");
 }

 event bro_init()
 {
         event Foo::foo();
 }
 }}}


 I think I understand how it works now, but the scoping rules seem a bit
 inconsistent for events versus other data types.
