Hi all

what's the envisioned pattern for managing subscriptions, where a lot of 
participating objects distributed among a hierarchy do 
subscribe/unsubscribe a lot to the bus (say for a simple status change)

var bus = qx.event.message.Bus.getInstance();
bus.subscribe("statuschange", function(e) {
     //do some status changing
   }
}, this);
    :
    :
bus.unsubscribe(???);

With this elegant registration I completely lose the possibility to 
unsubscribe, the function has be to be defined locally in some embracing 
function, such that I can pass the proper params to unsubscribe, namely 
(message, subscriber, context), with subscriber being the function.

var bus = qx.event.message.Bus.getInstance();
function status(e) {
     //do some status changing
}

bus.subscribe("statuschange", status, this);
    :
    :
bus.unsubscribe("statuschange", status, this);

Now, what's the reason for not passing back a unique key when 
subscribing, which could be used as a weak link to the subscription and 
thus passed to unsubscribe to allow for a coding style like

var bus = qx.event.message.Bus.getInstance();
var sub = bus.subscribe("statuschange", function(e) {
     //do some status changing
   }
}, this);
    :
    :
bus.unsubscribe(sub);

Thxs for enlightening me, I might be groping for something obvious, 
which I simply do not see.
