/**
This is currently for reference only. Use Observable instead. 
Unlike Observable, EventManager provides additional user data (called context)

Usage:

```
var eventManagerModule = require("ui/core/event-manager");

var eventManager = new eventManagerModule.EventManager();
eventManager.on("click", function(eventData, context) {
    console.log("clicked with data: " + eventData + ", context: " + context);
}, "context");

eventManager.emit("click");
eventManager.emit("click", "click1");

var f = function(eventData, context) {
    console.log("tested with data: " + eventData + ", context: " + context);
};
                                                
eventManager.on("test1, click", f);

eventManager.emit("click", "should be doubled");
eventManager.emit("test1");

eventManager.off("click", f);
eventManager.emit("click", "click3");

eventManager.off("test1");
eventManager.emit("test1", "test3");
```
