Description

Documentation shows a lifecycle event exists for unlisten on stores. It would be beneficial to also have the listen lifecycle event exposed.

Also some documentation on using lifecycle events in es5 would be helpful.

Research direction
Examine the source code for the 'unlisten' lifecycle event, likely in the store implementation (e.g., alt/store.js). Understand how events are emitted and attached. Then add a corresponding 'listen' event in the same pattern. Also update the documentation for lifecycle events, particularly for ES5 usage, if applicable.
