Emitter

A non-blocking event emitter. Non-blocking as in "if I call emitter.emit(), the emission of events to their handlers won't block".

Given the nature of "events", one would think event emission is always asynchronous. Looking at most implementations; that's not the case. This fixes it by running each handler with setTimeout/nextTick.
