What I'm considering for an async event emitter is a situation like this:

1. I want to be able to fire events before something happens and after something happens.
2. Each of the event handlers may do an async process.
3. I need to know after all of the "before" event handlers have completed before doing the actual action that I'm saying will happen.

A synchronous example would look like:

emitter.emit('beforewrite');
