The event interface is simple.
I module X emit an event. module Y listens to the event and does something.
module Y does NOT in whatever way or form return a value from the event.
Event emitters are not a bidirectional communication channel. They are a
single direction communication channel.
module Y does NOT return a value or an error through a callback you emit on
the event. Doing so is doing RPC. `foo.emit("doSomething", data, function
(err) { ... })` is wrong and should be `foo.doSomething(data, function
(err) { ... })`
The most important thing is that event emitters is a single direction
communication. If you want bidirectional communication use a duplex stream
or functions
