Where an enum value is used as an event type, it should be alllowercase (to follow DOM events). Property names should be ALLUPPERCASE in this case (just as camelCase and PascalCase are converted to CONSTANT_CASE).
If you know ahead of time that you only want to listen for changes for a specific property, the foo:change type events can be useful. If you want to listen for changes on all properties, the change event becomes more useful if it provides information on what changed. And the beforechange event allows listeners to access values before they change.
Without this, we are limited in the key names that we can accept from users. And because of compiler renaming, we don't know ahead of time what the limitations are (e.g. the key 'a' may clobber the 'set' method).
With this commit test files provide namespaces (using goog.provide). This fixes the issue reported by @bartvde where goog objects cannot be used in Jasmine "describe" functions. It also frees us from having to add script tags for the test files in test/ol.html.
