Description
This is not an issue but a feature request.
Would be really nice if you could remove all listeners on a specific ofEvent without manually keeping track of them.
Something like:
ofRemoveAllListeners(myEvent);

Research direction
Start by tracing the ofEvent API and its existing listener-removal path, including how listeners are tracked and associated with a specific event. Define the behavior of removing every listener from one ofEvent, then verify that the proposed ofRemoveAllListeners(myEvent) usage works without requiring callers to track listeners manually.
