[5.5] listensFor in event listener unusable

[jthomaschewski]

• Laravel Version: 5.5.2
• PHP Version: 7.1

Description:

The stubs for event listeners have the property $listensFor to list events as introduces in #19917

But it looks like relevant changes in the EventServiceProvider have been reverted in 5ed4f50

It's confusing to have this attribute in the stub if it can't be used (yet?).

What are the reasons why the PR has been reverted? Maybe an updated PR could be included in a minor release.

This was a feature introduced and reverted when the 5.5 release was still in development thus it's normal for this to happen.

AFAIK the reasons weren't disclosed but probably it wasn't yet ready or the idea wasn't matured enough thus it's better to remove entirely.

But indeed the stubs changes went forgotten. 👍
