/**
Adds a synthetic `valuechange` event that fires when the `value` property of an
`<input>` or `<textarea>` node changes as a result of a keystroke, mouse
operation, or input method editor (IME) input event.

Usage:

    YUI().use('event-valuechange', function (Y) {
        Y.one('#my-input').on('valuechange', function (e) {
            Y.log('previous value: ' + e.prevVal);
            Y.log('new value: ' + e.newVal);
        });
    });

Provides the implementation for the synthetic `valuechange` event. This class

/**
Synthetic event that fires when the `value` property of an `<input>` or
`<textarea>` node changes as a result of a user-initiated keystroke, mouse
operation, or input method editor (IME) input event.

Unlike the `onchange` event, this event fires when the value actually changes
and not when the element loses focus. This event also reports IME and
multi-stroke input more reliably than `oninput` or the various key events across
browsers.

For performance reasons, only focused nodes are monitored for changes, so
programmatic value changes on nodes that don't have focus won't be detected.

@example

    YUI().use('event-valuechange', function (Y) {
        Y.one('#my-input').on('valuechange', function (e) {
            Y.log('previous value: ' + e.prevVal);
            Y.log('new value: ' + e.newVal);

@event valuechange
@param {String} prevVal Previous value prior to the latest change.
