Re: [e4-dev] I'd like to add static utility methods to UIEvents


+1 both for having the methods and for making them static...

For myself I prefer the more explicit versions such as 'isAdd' rather than the more generic 'containsArg' but don't really have any problem with the generic one as well...

Note that if we don't use static methods we're in effect making the UIEvents class a 'service'...now there may be advantages to doing that such as being able to hide EventAdmin away by having subscribe methods in UIEvents....

Onwards,
Eric

UIEvents is a (mostly) auto-generated utility class (constants and static methods).   While I agree in general we don't use static methods, in this case I think it's acceptable.
