 * @property {function(eventName: string, arg1?: any, arg2?: any, arg3?: any)} emit Emits an event with a given name.

/**
 * Creates an object which can listen for and emit events.
 * This is similar to the EventEmitter API in Node's standard library, but it has a few differences.
 * The goal is to allow multiple modules to attach arbitrary listeners to the same emitter, without
 * letting the modules know about each other at all.
 * 1. It has no special keys like `error` and `newListener`, which would allow modules to detect when
 * another module throws an error or registers a listener.
 * 2. It calls listener functions without any `this` value. (`EventEmitter` calls listeners with a
 * `this` value of the emitter instance, which would give listeners access to other listeners.)
 * 3. Events can be emitted with at most 3 arguments. (For example: when using `emitter.emit('foo', a, b, c)`,
 * the arguments `a`, `b`, and `c` will be passed to the listener functions.)
 * @returns {SafeEmitter} An emitter
