> jQuery(someElement).bind('click', someFunction.bind(this));
I think as `Function.prototype.bind` becomes more mainstream (years
from now) this will indeed become common cause of confusuion for
jQuery newcomers.
However, all mature libraries are bound have their share of
idiosyncratic/lame-duck legacy naming baggage to confuse newcomers.
jQuery has a couple or so already:
* `$.fn.load()` has fundamentally different semantics depending on
the arguments you feed it.
* `$.fn.remove()` is not a normal `removeChild()`, but actually a
"destroy" method.
* etc.
...and it's very difficult to avoid these sort of things completely -
without either A) clean restart (breaking backwards compatibility) -
or B) building up a large stack of depricated method names that lie
"hidden"/forgotten only to spring on unsuspecting developers when they
least need to have to deal with cryptic bugs in their code.
Design is damn hard.
