This mixin allows for Ember objects to subscribe to and emit events.
```javascript
App.Person = Ember.Object.extend(Ember.Evented, {
greet: function() {
// ...
this.trigger('greet');
}
});
var person = App.Person.create();
person.on('greet', function() {
console.log('Our person has greeted');
});
person.greet();
// outputs: 'Our person has greeted'
```
You can also chain multiple event subscriptions:
```javascript
person.on('greet', function() {
console.log('Our person has greeted');
}).one('greet', function() {
console.log('Offer one-time special');
}).off('event', this, forgetThis);
```

export default Mixin.create({
/**
Subscribes to a named event with given function.
```javascript
person.on('didLoad', function() {
// fired once the person has loaded
});
```
An optional target can be passed in as the 2nd argument that will
be set as the "this" for the callback. This is a good way to give your
function access to the object triggering the event. When the target
parameter is used the callback becomes the third argument.
@method on
@param {String} name The name of the event
@param {Object} [target] The "this" binding for the callback
@param {Function} method The callback to execute

Subscribes a function to a named event and then cancels the subscription
after the first time the event is triggered. It is good to use ``one`` when
you only care about the first time an event has taken place.
This function takes an optional 2nd argument that will become the "this"
value for the callback. If this argument is passed then the 3rd argument
becomes the function.
