We intentionally made event handlers not return values.
My recollection is that this was done both due to simplicity and also
out of the desire to make it clear that event handlers ought to be
logically separate. Once handlers affect other handlers, the coding
gets more complicated, and it seems better to associate such actions
more directly with their causes.
