/**
 * EventList manages a list of callbacks that can be invoked together.
 * Used for Unity-style events that can be configured in the editor (Unity or Blender).
 *
 * **Serialization:**
 * EventLists are serializable - callbacks configured in Unity/Blender will work at runtime.
 * Mark fields with `@serializable(EventList)` for editor support.
 *
 * **Usage patterns:**
 * - Button click handlers
 * - Animation events
 * - Custom component callbacks
 * - Scene loading events

 * *Screenshot of a Blender component with an EventList field*
 *
 * @example Create and use an EventList
 * ```ts
 * // Define in your component
 * @serializable(EventList)
 * onClick: EventList = new EventList();
 *
 * // Add listeners
 * this.onClick.addEventListener(() => console.log("Clicked!"));
 *
 * // Invoke all listeners
 * this.onClick.invoke();
 * ```
 *
 * @example Listen with arguments
 * ```ts
 * const onScore = new EventList<{ points: number }>();
 * onScore.addEventListener(data => console.log("Scored:", data.points));
 * onScore.invoke({ points: 100 });
 * ```
