 * Sparse array of subscriptions.  Each subscription is represented by a tuple

 * identifier at index n, the function at index (n + 1), the context object at
 * index (n + 2), the next topic at index (n + 3), etc.  (This representation
 * minimizes the number of object allocations and has been shown to be faster
 * than an array of objects with three key-value pairs or three parallel arrays,
 * especially on IE.)  Once a subscription is removed via {@link #unsubscribe}
 * or {@link #unsubscribeByKey}, the three corresponding array elements are
 * deleted, and never reused.  This means the total number of subscriptions
 * during the lifetime of the pubsub channel is limited by the maximum length
 * of a JavaScript array to (2^32 - 1) / 3 = 1,431,655,765 subscriptions, which
