       Registers an event listener for this object's custom events.
       The callback gets a CustomEvent object with a 'detail'
       propertly holding any tab-related state for the event. The events
       are:

       - 'before-switch-from' is emitted immediately before a new tab
       is switched away from. detail = the tab element being switched
       away from.

       - 'before-switch-to' is emitted immediately before a new tab is
       switched to.  detail = the tab element.

       - 'after-switch-to' is emitted immediately after a new tab is
       switched to.  detail = the tab element.

       Any exceptions thrown by listeners are caught and ignored, to
       avoid that they knock the tab state out of sync.

       Returns this object.
