removeData for complete namespaces

The removeData methods should work on complete namespaces - similiar to unbind - so instead of

$(el).removeData('foo.ns').removeData('bar.ns');

you can write:

$(el).removeData('.ns');

component:	core → data

This seems like a reasonable enhancement, and would make the api more consistent to allow for namespacing data within .data()

The .data method doesn’t do namespacing like that. Namespacing for .data would look more like:

$('#foo').data('bar', {});
$('#foo').data('bar').baz = 2;
$('#foo').removeData('bar');

I am pretty sure this will be wontfix but gonna discuss it with some folks.

milestone:	→ 1.4.5

The period is not currently a special character in

.data()

names. Implementing this could cause regressions for anyone who used names that contained a period.

It's simple for a user to implement their own namespace by assigning a Javascript object to a simply-named

.data()

item.

version:	1.4.4rc → 1.5

There wasn't a 1.4.5 release, was actually 1.5.

milestone:	1.4.5 → 1.5

There was no 1.4.5 release, was actually 1.5.
