Now at least there's no need for an Event superclass/interface: I can
dispatch any object (that is, I can maintain multiple, unrelated event
hierarchies, and use a single dispatcher).
Is there a way (aside from @SuppressWarning) to eliminate the warning?
By making your map store EventListener<? super T> instead of <?>. I am
unsure whether that won???t cause other warnings/errors though.
