Class Emitter

Like an EventEmitter, instances of this class allow us register and unregister listeners for events, but it allows listening for those messages that match a pattern.

Example

let x = new Emitter();
  x.addContentListener({foo: 'bar'}, (data) => {
    console.log('received data', data);
  });
  x.emit({foo: 'bar', hello: 'world'})

  > received data {foo: 'bar', hello: 'world'}
