 Creates a pub/sub ([publish–subscribe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern)) event hub with `emit`, `on`, and `off` methods.
 
-Instantiate a new `Map` object to allow any event type (including objects) to be the key, and also so `Object.prototype` property names are not resolved.
+Create an empty `hub` property using `Object.create(null)` to create a truly empty object that does not inherit properties from `Object.prototype` (which would be resolved if the event name matched one of the properties).
 
 For `emit`, resolve the array of handlers based on the `event` argument and then run
 each one with `Array.forEach()` by passing in the data as an argument.
