Thanks, Jeff. Good name by the way:)

I guess I should have mentioned that I am aware of the removeHandler method
so I guess my question then really boils down to what happens if you don't
call it?

For example, suppose composite a has a reference to composite b and b calls
addHandler for events that composite a will fire. Some user action then
causes composite a to create a new instance of composite b overriding its
original reference to the 1st instance of b that it created. What should
happen when composite a fires off the events that composite b handles? The
1st instance of composite b might already have been garbage collected but
the EvenHandler still has references to the handlers it created.

The reason I am asking is because I've never seen an exception thrown in
these cases either in dev or in production. Is the event handler smart
enough to know that a handler is dead and should not be called even though
removeHandler was never called for it?
