* EventArgs is the base class for classes containing event data.
27
* This class contains no event data. It is used by events that do not pass state
28
* information to an event handler when an event is raised. The single empty EventArgs
29
* instance can be obtained through {@link getEmptyInstance}.

47
* Gets the single, empty and immutable EventArgs instance.
49
* This instance will be used when events are dispatched without any parameter,
50
* like this: EventManager::dispatchEvent('eventname');
52
* The benefit from this is that only one empty instance is instantiated and shared
53
* (otherwise there would be instances for every dispatched in the abovementioned form)
