+/// A trait indicating an object may generate events.
+///
+/// Events are processed by passing an [`EventHandler`] to [`process_pending_events`].
+///
+/// # Requirements
+///
+/// See [`process_pending_events`] for requirements around event processing.
+///
+/// When using this trait, [`process_pending_events`] will call [`handle_event`] for each pending
+/// event since the last invocation. The handler must either act upon the event immediately
+/// or preserve it for later handling.
+///
+/// Note, handlers may call back into the provider and thus deadlocking must be avoided. Be sure to
+/// consult the provider's documentation on the implication of processing events and how a handler
+/// may safely use the provider (e.g., see [`ChannelManager::process_pending_events`] and
+/// [`ChainMonitor::process_pending_events`]).
