+/**
+ * This file defines functions to add the ability for redux reducers
+ * to broadcast specific state changes to a non-React UI. You should
+ * *never* use this for new code that uses React, as it violates the
+ * core principals of a functional UI. This should only be used when
+ * migrating old code to redux, because it allows you to use redux
+ * with event-listening UI elements. The typical way to set all of
+ * this up is this:
+ *
+ * const emitter = makeEmitter();
+ * let store = createStore(combineEmittingReducers(
+ * reducers,
+ * emitter.emit
+ * ));
+ * store = enhanceStoreWithEmitter(store, emitter);
+ *
+ * Now reducers will receive a 3rd argument, `emit`, for emitting
+ * events, and the store has an `on` function for listening to them.
+ * For example, a reducer can now do this:
+ *
+ * function update(state = initialState, action, emitChange) {
+ * if (action.type === constants.ADD_BREAKPOINT) {
+ * const id = action.breakpoint.id;
+ * emitChange('add-breakpoint', action.breakpoint);
+ * return state.merge({ [id]: action.breakpoint });
+ * }
+ * return state;
+ * }
+ *
+ * `emitChange` is *not* synchronous, the state changes will be
+ * broadcasted *after* all reducers are run and the state has been
+ * updated.
+ *
+ * Now, a non-React widget can do this:
+ *
+ * store.on('add-breakpoint', breakpoint => { ... });
+ */

+/**
+ * Make an emitter that is meant to be used in redux reducers. This
+ * does not run listeners immediately when an event is emitted; it
+ * waits until all reducers have run and the store has updated the
+ * state, and then fires any enqueued events. Events *are* fired
+ * synchronously, but just later in the process.
+ *
+ * This is important because you never want the UI to be updating in
+ * the middle of a reducing process. Reducers will fire these events
+ * in the middle of generating new state, but the new state is *not*
+ * available from the store yet. So if the UI executes in the middle
+ * of the reducing process and calls `getState()` to get something
+ * from the state, it will get stale state.
+ *
+ * We want the reducing and the UI updating phases to execute
+ * atomically and independent from each other.
