Signals: Think outside the Event.

Signals are light-weight, strongly-typed AS3 messaging tools, inspired by C# events and signals/slots in Qt.

I am still looking for impressions, critiques and suggestions.

Concept

• A Signal is essentially a mini-dispatcher specific to one event, with its own array of listeners.
• A Signal gives an event a concrete membership in a class.
• Listeners subscribe to real objects, not to string-based channels.
• Event string constants are no longer needed.
