Description
It would be very useful if we could distinguish events which are synthesized. My use case is that I want to call click() on a page load, but that's setting the focus, which moves the viewport away from the anchor location. I've changed my code to check for the presence of a button in the event, but I feel it would be useful to have an isSynthesized property in the event object.

Replying to snover:
Isn’t dispatching fake events for their side-effects considered an anti-pattern, and isn’t the only purpose of this feature request to make it possible to more easily exploit this pattern?
Unfortunately, I can't remember the original context that caused me to file this bug. As I can't find a good reason, I'm happy for it to be closed.
