Simple usage

public class SimpleClass
{
   public SimpleClass() 
   {
      Listener = new Listener<Simple>(Broadcaster);
   }

   public enum Simple
   {
      One,
      Two,
      Three
   }
   // keep the broadcaster private so no one else can publish your messages
   Broadcaster<Simple> Broadcaster { get; } = new Broadcaster<Simple>();

   // make your Listener public so that other objects can subscribe
   public Listener<Simple> Listener { get; }
}

public class SomeOtherClass : IDisposable
{
   IDisposable _token = null;
   public SomeOtherClass(SimpleClass loudMouth)
   {
      _token = loudMouth.Listener.Listen(SimpleClass.Simple.One, OneHandler);
   }

   private async Task OneHandler() { ... do something ... }

   public void Dispose() 
   {
      _token.Dispose();
   }
}

So when a referenced SimpleClass instance fires the 'One' event, the corresponding instance of SomeOtherClass reacts to it. The token should be disposed when you no longer want to subscribe to the event. The handler could be a Func lambda (like 'async () => DoSomething()'), as well, not a full-fledged declared method.

Happy coding!
