Why the underline? And, what you generate is a function declaration...
I want to tip it is not a public API. It is generating API name,
missing ";" for declaration, implement may want it without ";". :)

I wonder if it would be clearer to to generate the declaration here.
I think so, but a little slower at compile time. I use api_name to
avoid call _generate_event_api_name() twice. I am not sure which
way is better.
