Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:9 vhauri]:
 > ...but if your thought is that we use it as a basis for a vanilla JS
 library (one that doesn't maintain any sort of compatibility with the
 latest and greatest version of AmplifyJS) that does the actions/hooks
 stuff, that sounds reasonable.

 Exactly, the patch is an earlier attempt to implement this as simple as
 possible. It was based off of AmplifyJS (it "borrows" some code from
 there). However it is quite different from the original and doesn't
 interfere with it, and there would be no need for any maintenance when
 AmplifyJS is updated.

 The jQuery Callbacks() looks like a good candidate but is missing some key
 features like  priorities and namespaces. Considering it would be
 preferable to keep this API self-contained, perhaps we can settle for a
 simpler solution using few loops instead of trying to patch/extend
 Callbacks(). That would need less maintenance too.
