I'd argue that it's a better pattern to have a handler method that calls the
other method. It's more transparent that this is what it's doing than adding
a lambda function that returns false. By adding a 'click' event that returns
false, you're going to stop the click event even if you later remove your
click handler. I'd rather see:
click: function(e) {
e.stop();
this.foo();
},
foo: function...
than
el.addEvent('click', this.foo.bind(this)).addEvent('click', $lambda(false));
The former is much more understandable and maintainable. Not to mention
extensible.
