I did some digging and after looking at the code some it appears as 
though it does try to do so and does actually work, but it's not 
propagated to every channel or application. It's only if you subscribe 
to all channel events that you receive the event.

I think the documentation is lacking, specifically describing when and 
how you would get the global variable events.
