/** <module> Event service

Generic broadcasting service. Broadcasts are   made  using the predicate
broadcast(+Templ). All registered  `listeners'  will   have  their  goal
called. Success or failure of this is ignored. The listener can not bind
arguments.

This library is particulary  useful  for   disconnecting  modules  in an
application. Modules can broadcast events  such as changes, anticipating
other modules need to react on   such  changes. For example, settings.pl
broadcasts changes to settings, allowing dependent   modules to react on
changes:

==
:- listing(setting(changed(http:workers, New)),
           change_workers(New)).

change_workers(New) :-
        setting(http:port, Port),
        http_workers(Port, New).
