Extended EMF Actor class with generateActions()

emf-actor-generate-actions.js

/*
    Example: Extended EMF Actor Class
    This is not in the core package because
    (1) it is trivial to implement and everyone should 
        be using their own base classes, and
    (2) it sets a couple bad presidences mainly that
        (a) methods and actions are 1:1 and
        (b) calls to Actor should only have one arg, and
    (3) makes debugging and type-checking tough as functions
        are created at runtime.
    All that said, use it if it works for you.
        
    Usage:
    myGenActor = new GenActor(myDispatcher);
    myGenActor.generateActions('view', ['addDog', 'removeDog']);
    myGenActor.generateActions(['updateDog']);
