Is it safe to remove element without remove handler ? #42

Is it safe to remove element without remove handler ? In some cases, the element is removed without any chance to remove listeners. will this cause any problem like memory leaking?

Yes, since all listeners are attached to the element itself it should get garbage collected when removed from the DOM. We too remove the elements freely, and haven't noticed any problems.
