Get the first event in a set of event emitters and event pairs,then clean up after itself.
## Install
```sh$ npm install ee-first```
## API
```jsvar first = require('ee-first')```
### first(arr, listener)
Invoke `listener` on the first event from the list specified in `arr`. `arr` isan array of arrays, with each array in the format `[ee, ...event]`. `listener`will be called only once, the first time any of the given events are emitted. If`error` is one of the listened events, then if that fires first, the `listener`will be given the `err` argument.
The `listener` is invoked as `listener(err, ee, event, args)`, where `err` is thefirst argument emitted from an `error` event, if applicable; `ee` is the eventemitter that fired; `event` is the string event name that fired; and `args` is anarray of the arguments that were emitted on the event.
```jsvar ee1 = new EventEmitter()var ee2 = new EventEmitter()
first([  [ee1, 'close', 'end', 'error'],  [ee2, 'error']], function (err, ee, event, args) {  // listener invoked})```
#### .cancel()
The group of listeners can be cancelled before being invoked and have all the eventlisteners removed from the underlying event emitters.
```jsvar thunk = first([  [ee1, 'close', 'end', 'error'],  [ee2, 'error']], function (err, ee, event, args) {  // listener invoked})
// cancel and clean upthunk.cancel()```
