why do i have to manually declare emits?

[ITwrx]

If i emit an event in a child component why am i also required to "declare" it in the same component? Why isn't my emitting a named event also "declaring" it? IOW, why can't vue just handle that for me? Why this (admittedly small) extra cognitive load/docs for new vue devs, and seemingly unnecessary boilerplate going forward?

Is this a legitimate feature request for core, or it has to be/stay this way for some reason?

thanks

Likely in order to your code editor knows when you are listening for an event not emitted by the child. It prevent some mistakes. I like it.

Thanks for your input! This is something i wouldn't have thought of, b/c i have simple requirements/preferences from my code editor and if this is the reason, would rather not have to add the boilerplate.
