.off to throw warning if event can't be found

Currently .off does not fire a warning or error if the event cant be found. Since e.g. phaser game engine is using this library, this can create situations where you have memory leaks if you are not careful.
Maybe this could be made configurable aka strict mode

It works like https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_emitter_removelistener_eventname_listener, no warning or error is thrown if the listener is not registered.

I mean this to be a feature request to change the functionality, so it throws a warning if an event cant be found. That would make memory management e.g. in games easier.
