I really like the idea! Aaron - not sure this is quite the same - in
your code the attacher needs to say - "this one should be latched" -
while Agroism's suggestion moves the responsibility to the dispatcher
(which I find to be better suiting).
I do find the fireOnce name missleading. Maybe it should be a pseudo
event on fireEvent. Something like:
this.fireEvent('load:latched',args);
