Sure, I should have included statement examples in the original post.
On "browserClick" is an example a the compound keyword with the controller
"browser" and the action "Click" aggregated into a message
On "closeCard" is an example of the same but reversing the order of the first
example
On "touchStart" is an example of just the action being used as a message
Seems to be a language oddity which reduces the intuitive nature of the
language increasing the complexity.
I for one would prefer a standard approach of the first example. This would
allow a natural grouping in document like the dictionary. One could go to the
browser section and see all messages related to the browser
