Remove all handlers for a pattern regardless of payload

[mcdonnelldean]

@mcollina I would like to have the ability to kill all patterns regardless of their payload, I'm not sure how the interface for this should look though. The two options I can think of are:

• as a function param to .remove()
• as another method

The use case is when anonymous functions are used but the consumer needs to ensure no handlers of a specific pattern exists. In my case I need to kill certain handlers based on a render cycle.

@mcollina I've been thinking about his more and I wonder should the default api be:

• remove(pattern) - removes all patterns regardless of payload
• remove(pattern, null) - removes patterns with no payload
• remove(pattern, payload) - removes pattern with matching payload

The current implementation doesn't really allow annon functions at all, or at least doesn't allow the ability to remove them.
