1. Added a few simple features to process.EventEmitter:

    - ability to wire listeners via constructor config like so:
       var e = new process.EventEmitter({
           on: {
               someEvent: function() { doSomething(); }
           }
       });
   
    - ability to specify a listener to only execute once:
       e.addListener("someEvent", listener, true);
       //or:
       e.once("someEvent", listener);
       //or:
       var e = new process.EventEmitter({
           once: {
               someEvent: listener
           }
       });
   
    - convenience aliases .on and .fire for methods .addListener and .emit respecitively
       I have an entire framework I'm porting that uses a .on/.fire API for events and if it's all the same to you I think adding these won't pose any issues whatsoever; just makes my life MUCH easier...
   
    - ability to suppress/unsuppress events (indefinitely or just one time)
      e.suppress("test");
      e.emit("test"); // no listeners for 'test' will execute
      e.emit("test"); // ditto
      e.unsuppress("test");
      e.emit("test"); // listeners for 'test' event fire normally again
   
      e.suppressOnce("test");
      e.emit("test"); // no listeners for 'test' will execute
      e.emit("test"); // listeners for 'test' event fire normally again
