At the moment, just for development/debugging purposes. But I can 
envisage using it where some class "X" raises an event that is not 
handled by the class that instantiates an X object.

Currently I have a situation where some events are firing in an 
unexpected order from a set of objects. If I step through the code in 
the IDE they fire in the expected order (of course) but when I run the 
project sometimes they appear to be out of order. If I could just detect 
the firing order or the handler order I might be able to understand.
