This doesn't seem like a good idea to me. If the function names give
the idea that you can decide whether new object types should support
event triggers or not, we could change them, or add better comments.
However, right now, you can't add a new object type and fail to update
these functions. With this change, that would become possible. And the
whole point of coding the functions in the way that they are was to
avoid that exact hazard. So I think we should leave the code the way
it is.
