Event Debugging Shim - allows limiting and skipping of event listeners as well as inspection of attached listeners

event-debugger.js

(function () {
    // Limit the number of events to be attached
    var limits = {
        'keydown': 100
    };

    var addEventListenerFunc = function(type, handler, useCapture) {
        if (!this.__eventListeners[type]) {
            this.__eventListeners[type] = [];
        }

        // die if the limits are reached for this type
        if (this.__eventListeners[type].length >= limits[type]) {
            return;
        }

        this.__eventListeners[type].push(handler.toString());
        return this._addEventListener.apply(this, arguments);
    };

    var getEventListenerFunc = function(type) {
        return this.__eventListeners[type];
    };

    // setup the DOM and window objects
    var attachTo = [0, HTMLDocument, Element, window];
    for (var i in attachTo) {
        if (!attachTo[i].prototype) {
            continue;
        }
