Adding to the local scope
could overwrite a prototype method with the event handler. Imagine a
handler-plugin:
$.fn.handler = function() { ... };
Now adding to this could actually have a bad effect:
$.fn.plugin = function() {
this.handler = function() {
...
}
$("...").bind("...", handler);
};
Because you are overwriting another method. $("...").plugin().handler()
wouldn't yield the expected result.
I also pointed that out in the blog comments, but you explained it a bit
better than I did. I think if this occurs, it would give you a
reaaaaaaally hard time debugging.
