Setup

var exosEvents = Exoskeleton.Events;
    var EventEmitter = {
      on: function(ev, handler) {
        var events = this._events;
    
        (events[ev] || (events[ev] = [])).push(handler);
      },
      removeListener: function(ev, handler) {
        var array = this._events[ev];
    
        array && array.splice(array.indexOf(handler), 1);
      },
      emit: function(ev) {
        if (!this._events) return this
    
        var args = [].slice.call(arguments, 1),
            array = this._events[ev] || [];
        
        this._triggerEvents(array, args);
      },
      once: function(ev, handler) {
        this.on(ev, remover);
    
        function remover() {
          handler.apply(this, arguments);
          this.removeListener(ev, remover);
        }
      },
      off: function() {
        this._events = {};
      },
      _triggerEvents: function(evs, args) {
        var ev, i = -1, l = evs.length, a1 = args[0], a2 = args[1], a3 = args[2];
    
        switch (args.length) {
          case 0: while (++i < l) (ev = evs[i]).callback.call(ev.ctx); return;
          case 1: while (++i < l) (ev = evs[i]).callback.call(ev.ctx, a1); return;
          case 2: while (++i < l) (ev = evs[i]).callback.call(ev.ctx, a1, a2); return;
          case 3: while (++i < l) (ev = evs[i]).callback.call(ev.ctx, a1, a2, a3); return;
          default: while (++i < l) (ev = evs[i]).callback.apply(ev.ctx, args); return;
        }
      },
      constructor: function() {
        this._events = {};
        return this;
      }
    };
    var EE = EventEmitter.constructor();
    
    var numEvents = 3;
    var numListeners = 100;
    var bb = extend({x:0}, bbEvents);
    var exos = extend({x:0}, exosEvents);
    var ee = extend({x:0}, EE);
    [bb, exos, ee].forEach(function(obj) {
      obj.on('event1', function() { obj.x++; });
      obj.on('event2', function() { obj.x++; });
      obj.off();
    });
