Can we add something akin to this...?

It would be nice to have something akin to this in the static portion of jQuery. I know I can do a plugin (and I may) but it would be really nice to have this functionality in the core. I use a variation of this code snippet to define custom events that any code can listen to. Its really handy, small and makes various interfaces quite clean.

    pubSub: {},
   
    publish: function(eventName) {
      if(!jQuery.pubSub[eventName])
        jQuery.pubSub[eventName] = [];
    },
   
    subscribe: function(eventName, fn) {     
      if(!jQuery.pubSub[eventName])
        jQuery.publish(eventName);
     
      jQuery.pubSub[eventName].push(fn);     
    },
   
    fire: function(eventName, thisObj, data) {
      if(jQuery.pubSub[eventName]) {
        var events =
jQuery.pubSub[eventName];
        var thisObject = arguments.length <= 2 ? window : arguments[1];
        var eventData = arguments.length > 3
          ? Array.prototype.splice(arguments, 2, arguments.length
)
          : arguments.length==3 ? arguments[2] : arguments[1];
     
        for(var i = 0, len = events.length; i < len; i++) {
          try {events[i].apply(thisObject,eventData);} catch(e) {console.log(e);}
        }
      }
    }
