/**
* Signals are what Phaser uses to handle events and event dispatching.
* You can listen for a Signal by binding a callback / function to it.
* This is done by using either `Signal.add` or `Signal.addOnce`.
*
* For example you can listen for a touch or click event from the Input Manager 
* by using its `onDown` Signal:
*
* `game.input.onDown.add(function() { ... });`
*
* Rather than inline your function, you can pass a reference:
*
* `game.input.onDown.add(clicked, this);`
* `function clicked () { ... }`
*
* In this case the second argument (`this`) is the context in which your function should be called.
*
* Now every time the InputManager dispatches the `onDown` signal (or event), your function
* will be called.
*
* Very often a Signal will send arguments to your function.
* This is specific to the Signal itself.
* If you're unsure then check the documentation, or failing that simply do:
*
* `Signal.add(function() { console.log(arguments); })`
*
* and it will log all of the arguments your function received from the Signal.
*
* Sprites have lots of default signals you can listen to in their Events class, such as:
*
* `sprite.events.onKilled`
* 
* Which is called automatically whenever the Sprite is killed.
* There are lots of other events, see the Events component for a list.
*
* As well as listening to pre-defined Signals you can also create your own:
*
* `var mySignal = new Phaser.Signal();`
*
* This creates a new Signal. You can bind a callback to it:
*
* `mySignal.add(myCallback, this);`
*
* and then finally when ready you can dispatch the Signal:
*
* `mySignal.dispatch(your arguments);`
*
* And your callback will be invoked. See the dispatch method for more details.
*
