The `Zend\EventManager` is a component designed for the following use cases:

- Implementing simple subject/observer patterns.
- Implementing Aspect-Oriented designs.
- Implementing event-driven architectures.

The basic architecture allows you to attach and detach listeners to named events,
both on a per-instance basis as well as via shared collections; trigger events;
and interrupt execution of listeners.

found in the `benchmarks/` directory.

To execute the benchmarks you can run the following command:

```bash
$ vendor/bin/athletic -p benchmarks
