Didn't realize document.ready wasn't an event...thanks Mike I can think of solutions to the problem but in general was trying todo something like:
// in default library
$().ready(function(){
/*
do generic things
*/
})
// in optional asset (if present)
$().ready(function(){
/*
cancel the 'do generic things', here in ready or before, or after, and
instead do custom things
*/
})
