All current listen registrations for this session are cleared.
You may unlisten something you were not listening for; no warning or error will appear.
At the end of each session, UNLISTEN * is automatically executed.

Once UNLISTEN has been executed, further NOTIFY commands will be ignored:
UNLISTEN virtual; NOTIFY virtual; -- no NOTIFY event is received
