We have had that in the beginning ... it has been changed, in order to
apply the same event handler for all the notification events.

Which tag would you give an event when it is pushed by Tramp? `remote'?

Honestly, I don't believe it is worth the trouble just now, since we
haven't a problem yet. We could think about when it is necessary.

Changing the event name wouldn't break anything; it is used internally
only in the different *notify.{c,el} packages.

And putting the tag into the descriptor, as I have proposed, would even
not require a change in the event name. The descriptors must just be
unique, that's all.
