why not pass priority and useWeakReference to the addViewListener and addContextListener function in Mediator

Hi
I find that the mapListener function in IEventMap cound accept this two arguments,so why doesn't Mediator accept and pass them to IEventMap?
Sorry for my poor English and thanks for this great framework.

   Hi,

   You have 2 options:

   • use the eventMap.mapListener instead of addViewListener or addContextListener, and set the priority and useWeakReference as you wish them to be :

   eventMap.mapListener(view,  SomeEvent.SOME_DATA_REQUESTED, 
   dispatch, false, 11, false);
   
   eventMap.mapListener( eventDispatcher,  SomeEvent.SOME_DATA_RECEIVED, 
   someHandler, false, 1, true);
   

   • open an issue on github: https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework/issues

   In my experience, having useWeakReference set to true is a good thing almost always, and I can't think of a scenario where the opposite were desirable for a Mediator's event listener. As for the priorities of event listeners, personally, I try to avoid relying on a specific order of execution of event listeners. More often than not, there are other architectural solutions to that problem. I'm curious as to why you need to change those parameters. What is your special/particular use case?

   Hi Ondina,
   In my use case,both mediatorA and mediatorB have the same event listeners,and i need to make mediatorA's event handler happen first,as you said there are other solutions to this problem,thanks for your replies.
