Duh, you are right.
However, if the event handler includes async calls then something like this
code would make sense. Imagine the work being done in response to the
event isn't finished until a callback. "Spamming" the event containing the
async call would be a big problem but the following would fix it.
handlingEvent = no
emitter.on 'event',
if handlingEvent then return
handlingEvent = yes
blah.blah.blah()
setTimeout ->
blah.blah.blah()
handlingEvent = no
