Sencha: Catch all events of Observable

Very useful pattern to catch all events of Observable object in Sencha:
Ext.util.Observable.capture(object, function(){
    console.log(arguments);
});


This object might be Store, View, or whatever using Observable mixin. This may be useful to learn how the object work or to catch events before any other on/addListener listeners.

Arguments may wary but it contains at least two objects:
0: {String} always event name
1: {Object} object itself

This may contain other arguments such as Action, changed Model (for Store), String name of the action caused event, Array of changed fields (for Model and Store)

Store usage:
Ext.util.Observable.capture(store, function(){
    if (arguments[0]=='update') {
        /*eventName,store,record,operation,modifiedFields*/
        // Your fancy code here
        store.suspendEvent('update');
    }
});
