 * Event emitter which allows listeners to return a value.

 * This is beneficial for the themes since it allows plugins to modify the HTML output
 * without doing unsafe text replacement.
 *
 * Very simple event emitter class which collects the return values of its listeners.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * const x = new EventHooks<{ a: [string] }, string>()
 * x.on('a', a => a.repeat(123)) // ok, returns a string
 * x.on('b', console.log) // error, 'b' is not assignable to 'a'
 * x.on('a' a => 1) // error, returns a number but expected a string
 * ```
