 * Registration objects returned when an event handler is bound (e.g. via
 * {@link EventBus#addHandler}), used to deregister.
 * 
 * A tip: to make a handler deregister itself try something like the following:
 * 
new MyHandler() {
 *  HandlerRegistration reg = MyEvent.register(eventBus, this);
 * 
 *  public void onMyThing(MyEvent event) {
 *    {@literal /}* do your thing *{@literal /}
 *    reg.removeHandler();
 *  }
 * };
 *

   * attached to the event source, this is a no-op.
