I can only imagine the space, which is the product of the SDL people, is there
for future expansion.

The USEREVENT is there for people to use with event_new(), in that it should be
possible to subclass it and do what they will with it. With no mechanism to
really pass around other information, the manner of using it may become a bit
convoluted, but I'd rather not stand in the way of someone's creative genius.
Practically speaking you might consider it useless, unless of course you find
it useful ;-)
