Since this has come up again, I thought I'd mention - despite my distate
for plugin pimping - my own event++ system (
http://jquery.offput.ca/event++ ) I wrote which could be used as the new
system. It can handle additional arguments sent to the event simply by
adding arguments to the event bind function call. It can also handle
limiting the number of event occurrence to run but as the first argument
to bind, click, et. al. It also handles scope arbitration using the
final argument provided to the event bind function call. There's a
little more detail available at the link above but regardless it seems
like it's a system people would appreciate and it barely adds any code
complexity to the current system.
