 Replying to [comment:24 CaptainN]:
 > Hmm, one thing I just noticed about SignalLite, and a lot of the other
 JavaScript callback systems, is they don't really provide a way to do
 WordPress style filters...

 The JS way to do something similar is to pass around simple objects. As
 they are always passed by reference changing a value in a callback
 function would change it "everywhere".

 Was planning to add "filters" and handle that automatically in the above
 example but passing object(s) is doable with the "actions" too, so not
 sure if it's needed. The only reason is that it would make this API more
 familiar to developers that are used to the PHP API.
