                                          // parameter through the member
                                          // variable "role"
        dispatchers : ['api/bar']
      }
    ]

require('@superhero/router')(bus, routes, debugging);

A dispatcher can break the dispatcher loop by throwing an object with the attributes name and context, which will be triggered as an event, or throw "nothing" (eg: false, 0, undefined...).
