Just to note: that would break a lot of existing scripts and should not
go into a maintenance version.
I'm not sure what is the right way to do it. I think it adds more
overhead to jQuery, because it had to check for every event if such a
vanilla event exists for a particular element.
I think, the reason for the often occuring confusion is the naming
ambiguity.
