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

```js
var first = require('ee-first')
```

### first(arr, listener)

Invoke `listener` on the first event from the list specified in `arr`. `arr` is
an 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 the
first argument emitted from an `error` event, if applicable; `ee` is the event
emitter that fired; `event` is the string event name that fired; and `args` is an
array of the arguments that were emitted on the event.

```js
var 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 event
listeners removed from the underlying event emitters.

```js
var thunk = first([
  [ee1, 'close', 'end', 'error'],
  [ee2, 'error']
], function (err, ee, event, args) {
  // listener invoked
})

// cancel and clean up
thunk.cancel()
```
