Comment:

 I'm not a big fan of introducing {{{featureover}}} and {{{featureout}}}
 events at the {{{DragFeature}}} level. In our current design events are
 triggered by {{{Layer.Vector}}}, I think we want to keep that. I know the
 {{{SelectFeature}}} triggers its own events, but this was probably a poor
 choice design-wise (I'm the one to blame), and something we want to change
 in !OpenLayers... 3.

 So I'd rather add {{{featureentered}}} (or {{{featurehovered}}}) and
 {{{featureleft}}} events to {{{Layer.Vector}}} and have our controls that
 use a {{{Handler.Feature}}} ({{{DragFeature}}} and {{{SelectFeature}}})
 trigger these events when appropriate.

 Also, I'll accept a patch that (includes tests :) and adds {{{onEnter}}}
 and {{{onLeave}}} functions to {{{DragFeature}}}, alongside with
 {{{onStart}}} and {{{onDrag}}}. Adding {{{featureentered}}} and
 {{{featureleft}}} events to {{{Layer.Vector}}} could then be done later,
 if needed.
