Description

It would be useful to know if an ofEventListener is currently subscribed to something.

Currently we can explicitly unsubscribe(), but there it would be nice to check something like:


class ofEventListener{
public:
	ofEventListener(){}
	ofEventListener(std::unique_ptr<of::priv::AbstractEventToken> && token)
	:token(std::move(token)){}
	void unsubscribe(){
		token.reset();
	}

        bool isSubscribed() const
        {
               return token != nullptr;
        }
private:
	std::unique_ptr<of::priv::AbstractEventToken> token;
};

Research direction

Start by locating the ofEventListener class and its existing unsubscribe() implementation. Add coverage for the subscribed and unsubscribed states, then verify the event-listener tests pass and that the new query reports whether a listener currently holds a subscription.
