Suggestion: add syntax to allow adding event handlers directly.

Event handlers are probably the best feature that has been added to OBSE in recent years. However, unfortunately, it does not completely eliminate the need to use quest scripts for handling events: you still need to call SetEventHandler somewhere. I suggest making a syntax that would allow xOBSE to register handlers at game startup automatically, for example:

scn NewSyntaxExample

String_var filename

begin SetEventHandler_LoadGame { filename }
   ...
end

Adding a block for every event is unfeasible unless I can patch the compiler to interpret that. Otherwise we could rely on a begin OnEvent "event" filter1 filter2

unless I can patch the compiler

Is it even possible?

Possible is possible.

It would be great
