I used the disabled approach once. Another option is a global
variable, sort of a semaphore/mutex.
All the bound function first check:
if( disabledEvents ) return false;
Another option is using event delegation. If you bind only one
function, you can easily unbind/rebind it, OR bind another function to
a descendant that does this:
$().bind( 'some_event', function( e ){
if( disabledEvents )
e.stopPropagation().
});
This is pretty much like the other approach, but you separate the
action from the check.
