 * @class EventEmitterWithHolding
 * @description
 * An EventEmitterWithHolding decorates an event emitter and enables one to
 * "hold" or cache events and then have a handler register later to actually
 * handle them.
 *
 * This is separated into its own decorator so that only those who want to use
 * the holding functionality have to and others can just use an emitter. Since
 * it implements the emitter interface it can also be combined with anything
 * that uses an emitter.
