+#### Caution when putting arrays:
+
+Currently putting arrays and maps directly as parameters in `put_array` doesn't work, so make a variable first and use that.

 ### Notes:
 
 1. Each `EventBus` instance has it's own registry (i.e. there is no global event registry so you can't just subscribe to an event wherever you are.
 2. Each `EventBus` has a `Subscriber` instance which will need to be either exposed or you can make small public helper functions specific to your module like (`onPress`, `onError`) and etc.
 3. The `eventbus` module has some helpers to ease getting/setting of Params (since V doesn't support empty interfaces yet or reflection) so use them (see usage above).

+**The rationale behind separating Subscriber & Publisher:**
 
-This is mainly for security because the if emitter & subscriber are both passed around, a client can easily emit events acting as the server. So a client should only be able to use the Subscriber methods.
