/**
 * An EventAggregator can be provided via a FilterProvider
 * and is then used to 'aggregate' an event at creation time
 * (ie after filtering).
 * 
 * Aggregation in this context means to have the event identifier
 * not be the path (as usual) but one of its parents.
 * This allows to have client code use an aggregating filter
 * and ignore the event paths but only inspect the event
 * identifier which is then the aggregation parent node.
