Document event delegation about core

[csuwildcat]

Applying the delegation pseudo allows you to ensure that only clicks on
elements matching the selector you supply trigger your user function.

We need to start a separate section in the docs called pseudos, this should
be documented there. Can you address this with Arron?

I think I've asked about this in meetings a couple of times before, so for
the sake of trackability and posterity and all things ity, here it
goes: event delegation needs to be documented.

All the mentions to delegate in the docs are pretty obscure. Example:

events: {
'click:delegate(x-toggler)': function(){
// activate a clicked toggler
}
}

What does delegate in this context mean? Am I listening to the click
event or I'm delegating the click event to the x-toggler? Also, what does
delegate mean DOM event-wise? Does it bubble? Etc.

I've also tried to deduct how it works by looking at the code in existing
components but for some reason I can't. Help!

Also, I was unsure whether this bug should go here or in the x-tags-orghttps://github.com/x-tag/x-tags-orgrepo, so forgive me if it went to the wrong place :-)

Thanks, that is helpful! And definitely not what the API led me to understand!

Another 🔔 ping for @pennyfx 😃

Nice! I think that explains things that otherwise would be solved in a way more complicated way!

thanks!
