Deprecate .load(), .unload(), and .error() methods

Description

These are shortcut names for $().bind("load", fn) etc.

The .load() method is an ambiguous signature, it can either be an ajax load or attach/fire a "load" event. CCAO cannot tell them apart since it's a dynamic decision based on arguments.
If .load() is being deprecated, .unload() should be as well.
The .error() method has never worked to attach a window.onerror event since the function signature is not the same as a standard event handler. It may also be confused with jQuery.error() which is not related.

From the deprecation documentation above, I do not know if jQuery has stopped supporting the "load" and "unload" events, or just stopped supporting the load() and unload() methods.

The reason I'm interested is because when I bind a handler function using unload() in a mobile browser Safari, Chrome, Firefox on iOS 4.x and Android 4.x, the handler is not called.

The ticket title says "Deprecate .load(), .unload(), and .error() methods" and that is what it meant. The methods, not the events.

For support regarding problems, ask on the forum or StackOverflow.
