+Directives like {@link ng.directive:ngClick `ngClick`} and {@link ng.directive:ngFocus `ngFocus`}
+expose a `$event` object within the scope of that expression.

+Note in the example above how we can pass in `$event` to `clickMe`, but how it does not show up
+in `{{$event}}`. This is because `$event` is outside the scope of that binding.
