  Introduction
    The =Uize.Event.Bus= module defines a simple event bus object that can be instantiated for managing wiring and unwiring of event handlers and firing of events.

                    When executing multiple handlers, it is necessary to make a copy of the handlers array, since it is possible that one of the handlers might execute code that affects the handlers array (eg. by using the removeHandler method).

                    What this means is that when an event is fired, all the handlers registered for that event at the time that it fires will be executed. Event handlers for that event that are removed by one of its handlers will still be executed, and event handlers for that event that are added by one of its handlers will not be executed.
