Thanks a lot @petetnt for quick review :+1.

This would be a provider specific implementation. IMHO, scoping the event emitter to a provider will make the listener code ambiguous. Also, keeping this as a hook keeps the reach of the handling very shallow and declaration of the intent is upfront. But that's my thought, want to hear the advantages of event emitter in this case as well.

@swmitra LGTM. But +1 on @petetnt comment about documentation.

FWIW I am okay with this not being an event emitter too as code hint list providers provide functions anyway now that I looked at this more 👍
