I don't see any possible use for an array of events if you can't trigger
one of them.

BTW, there are some issues with arrays of events that were not considered
when they were added in 1364.  They appear because of the possibility that
the event referenced by an array reference could change if the value of
the index changes.  The same issue occurs in 1800 with the ability to
assign an event to another event.  You have to define what it means to
wait on an event in that situation.  There is no analog in the rules for
other things in event controls, because those are based on whether the
value changed, and named events do not have values.
