As a former MochiKit user I'm continually impressed by how well jQuery
does everything that MochiKit can do, only better.  However, there is
one very minor convenience feature that MochiKit had that I miss: in
Mochikit's abstracted event object (ie. the thing your event handling
callbacks receive as an argument) there is a method, in addition to
preventDefault and stopPropagation, called simply "stop".  All this
method does is invoke those two other methods, so it would be super-
easy to add it to jQuery.  If we did, it would turn code like this:

function someCallback(event) {
    event.stopPropagation();
    event.preventDefault();
    doSomething();
}

in to this:

function someCallback(event) {
    event.stop();
    doSomething();
}

which (to me at least) seems a lot cleaner.

So ... what can I do to make this happen?  Who decides whether
something like this gets added, and what can I do to convince them
that it's worth adding?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
