Does anyone have any example uses for the “useCapture” parameter and in which scenarios it would be beneficial to use it?

[whisper]My first guess was for canceling events, but that wouldn’t work for two reasons:

- The listener will never run if the item is clicked directly.
- They might as well add a listener with highest possible priority, and use “stopImmediatePropogation”.[/whisper]
