/**
 * AOP style event handling, for listening for method calls. Very similar to dojo.connect

/* Add a listener for the execution of the given function slot on the given object.
 *
 * When object[eventName]() is executed the handler is called.
 * The optional before parameter can be used to indicate if the listener
 * should be fired before or after the  default action (default is after)
