event handled removed and replaced with Jquery.event.dispatch but how to use?

Hello,

I use used the undocumented and actually pretty awesome e.handled to temporarily fix the problem of an event over-firing.  The jQuery migrate plug-in just asks if $.event.dispatch exists, then give a warning.  Great.  But how does event.dispatch work, there doesn't seem to be any documentation it.  Is there any polyfill or shim to replace just that one piece without having to use the entire migrate plugin?
