Comment:

 I didn't actually know the answer to
 > What would happen if core adds such a global event listener, but then a
 plugin already has such an event listener?

 So, I investigated the reported conflict between Woo and Max Mega Menu,
 and I do think that this may be the case. I think one fires and then the
 other would fire, which reversed the trigger action. I tried coming up
 with code to resolve this but wasn't able to without making it specificlly
 target Max Mega Menu (I.e., I couldn't come up with a generic solution
 that would apply to anything).

 Given this, I think my idea, while good intially is not good in practice
 and am closing this ticket.
