/**
 * In Domain Driven Design, an Event is a type of Domain Object for which:
 * - properties are immutable (e.g., something happened)
 * - identity does matter
 *   - i.e., it is uniquely identified by what happened and to what
 *   - i.e., if you change the uniquely identifying properties (when or to what) of an event, it will be considered a new event
 *   - i.e., not all properties on the event uniquely identify the event
 *
 * The purpose of a Domain Event is to represent interesting things that happen in the domain.
 *
 * For example,
 * - An `ItemViewedEvent { itemUuid, customerUuid, occurredAt }` is an event. Changing when it `occurredAt` which `customerUuid` did it or which `itemUuid` it happened to would result in a new event.
 * - A `PowerSupplyMeasuredEvent { batteryUuid, current, voltage, temperature, occurredAt }` is an event. Changing when it `occurredAt` or which `batteryUuid` it occurred to would result in a new event. Note: changing the `current`, `voltage`, or `temperature` would _not_ result in a new event though, since only one measurement can be made at a time for a `batteryUuid`
