Public bug reported:

Right now GetEvents raises a KeyError whenever any event is either not
found or blocked by an extension. As good as this solution was in case
of not found events it turns out to be bad for blocked events.

I think there are two possible solutions:
 * adding a NULLEvent, a somehow designed event datastructure which indicates "cannot find an event (with this id)"
 * raising a KeyError which somehow contains all failing/blocked event-ids. The client can now make another GetEvents call but remove all failing ids from the arguments

If we manage to find a good NULLEvent I think this solution makes the
most sense.
