 * Application: Chameleon

 * Purpose:     Generic event manager for Chameleon components
 * Author:      DM Solutions Group Inc. (jfournier@dmsolutions.ca)
 * Copyright:   
 *
 * Widgets can create events for other widgets or user-applications
 * to use by registering events with the event manager:
 *
 * var gnSomeEventID = goEventManager.registerEventID( 'SOME_EVENT' );
 *
 * multiple widgets can register the same event name, the ID will be reused.
 *
 * Widgets can trigger an event using a previously registered event id
 * or event name:
 *
 * goEventManager.triggerEvent( gnSomeEventID );
 * goEventManager.triggerEvent( 'SOME_EVENT' );
 *
 * Widgets or user code that wishes to 'listen' for events use the 
 * registerForEvent function by eventID or event name:
 *
 * goEventManager.registerForEvent( gnSomeEventID, 'myEventHandler()' );
 * goEventManager.registerForEvent( 'SOME_EVENT', 'myEventHandler()' );
 *
 * Widgets or user code that does not want to receive events any more can
 * 'deregister' for an event by id or name:
 *
 * goEventManager.deregisterForEvent( gnSomeEventID, 'myEventHandler()' );
 * goEventManager.deregisterForEvent( 'SOME_EVENT', 'myEventHandler()' );
