An Eventdata resident program was proposed by Andy Maxfield.
This proposal was rejected (see MH_N1045) because getting
the last event associated data would not only need an external program
but also a change in the engine.
Instead the functional requirement was therefore forwarded to the MTF.
This is I think why "the issue needs further discussion"
