Expose EventTarget and Event by default? #35495
Description
Activity
That'd be perfect! E.g., I have a module that could work unmodified in both browser and Node.js if
EventTargetandEventwere present on the global object.Let's go for it. Node v15 seems about a good time to do this.

I think it might make sense to expose the
EventTargetandEventclasses on the global object. We usually do this in semver-major changes only, so it might make sense to do this in Node v15.0.0 with an exception from the @nodejs/tsc, so that these classes are available for features that we add.
