* Phaser.SignalBinding
*
* Object that represents a binding between a Signal and a listener function.
* <br />- <strong>This is an internal constructor and shouldn't be called by regular users.</strong>
* <br />- inspired by Joa Ebert AS3 SignalBinding and Robert Penner's Slot classes.
*
* @class Phaser.SignalBinding
* @name SignalBinding
* @author Miller Medeiros http://millermedeiros.github.com/js-signals/
* @constructor
* @inner
* @param {Signal} signal - Reference to Signal object that listener is currently bound to.
* @param {function} listener - Handler function bound to the signal.
* @param {boolean} isOnce - If binding should be executed just once.
* @param {object} [listenerContext] - Context on which listener will be executed (object that should represent the `this` variable inside listener function).
* @param {number} [priority] - The priority level of the event listener. (default = 0).
