I am no English expert, but would like to ask, if a particular event
can take place due to multiple reasons, shouldn't it be :
"Details on the causes of the 'defined' lifecycle event"
I think the original author made a typo by typing 'd' instead of 's'
(very close on keyboard), i.e., s/caused/causes
Causes would make sense if you could have a plurality of causes
triggering a single event. But we don't. Each event has exactly one
cause. The patch is correct as-is, so I'll apply it soon.
