ReadonlyafterContains a set of events that are applicable to the entirety of the world. Event callbacks are called in a deferred manner. Event callbacks are executed in read-write mode.

});
ReadonlybeforeContains a set of events that are applicable to the entirety of the world. Event callbacks are called immediately. Event callbacks are executed in read-only mode.
