Feedback [SUGGESTION] Instance Activated / Instance Deactivated EVENTS

[xDGameStudios]

Hi everyone!
I was coding today morning and I got to a point where I usually, when deactivating objects, i need to act upon then. Like reseting some variables when deactivating an object used for transitions effects between rooms!
What do you think about adding this two events to the event list!?
What good workarounds do you use? (apart from using a custom deactivate function that runs code before actually deactivating... because this way we lose code encapsulation).

with (a) {
// ... do something
}
instance_deactivate_object(a);

maybe ?

In fact, if instance is deactivated, shouldn't run an event Also, to save frame time, instances are now (de)activated at end of step, not ASAP when you call it from code, so this have also no sense (you can deactivate then activate in same step, and this will cause no change in fact for game).

Thank you for the detailed information
