How would you unbind all jQuery events from a particular namespace?

Question

Is there a \"global\" unbind function in jQuery, such that I\'d be able to remove all bound events from a given namespace? eg:

// assume these are the events bou

You need to hack into jQuery internals, here's a working demo of a simple implementation:

The main work is done in regular js loops and shouldn't be very inefficient as even this page contains ultimately only 106 items to loop through. You should of course use event delegation as much as possible to keep the amount of items in the jQuery handler collection as small as possible.
