Multiple instances of the same function on an event with different namespaces

Description

I was trying to make one element have multiple events of the same function like so:

$('#foo').bind('click.a', bar);
$('#foo').bind('click.b', bar);

This is, however, not possible in jQuery, even though they are in different namespaces. I do not know if this is intended or not but either way I think it needs to be fixed.

A temporary solution is to assign anonymous functions:

$('#foo').bind('click.a', function(e){ bar(e); });
$('#foo').bind('click.b', function(e){ bar(e); });

I can also add that the functions where to have different data, otherwise this would not be an issue.

What i was trying to do:

$('#foo').bind('click.a', data1, bar);
$('#foo').bind('click.b', data2, bar);

I'm going to mark this working as intended, in most cases you'd want to pass different data for the same function so you could tell the instances apart.
