Well, I already had proposed this a month ago in the discussion http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_frm/thread/588fe6d162845290/ (message #6). There you will see that my solution (http://gist.github.com/227508) was almost same as your, and that John at #12 was of idea that that was easily to reproduce with no additional functionality...
Maybe it is time to reconsider if such level of control is wonted enough to improve bind() or extending the API..
