Trigger event in jquery without a namespace

Question

With the current version of jQuery (1.8.3) you can still use the following code (showing both a click with and without a namespace):

$("span")
    .on("click", function(e) { console.log('click without a namespace'); })
    .on("click.namespace", function(e) { console.log('click with a namespace'); })
    .trigger("click!"); // "click without a namespace"

JSFiddle

However, that seems to be removed in 1.9. Is there a way in the new version of jQuery (the test version) to replicate this feature? Or do I have to create a custom event like this:

$("span")
    .on("click", function(e) { $(this).trigger("customevent"); })
    .on("click.namespace", function(e) { console.log('click with a namespace'); })
    .on("customevent", function(e) { console.log('"click" without a namespace'); })
    .trigger("customevent");

JSFiddle

@Vega from jquery 1.9 I will not be able to use click! to only trigger event bounded on click only (look at the test links you will see that only one "test" will be logged), the second code I posted will "fix" that, but that means that I have to bind one more event. — voigtan

Your two samples aren't exactly the same... if you make them both the same, they both perform the same. What are you trying to say/do? at this point it seems like you're asking for it to do what it is doing. — user400654

the second example is how I could do it with 1.9 comes out (or just using jQuery edge on jsfiddle), my main question is is there another way to keep more or less the old code and still keep this undocumented feature. — voigtan

You can call that using

.trigger("click.$")

as we found it is because regex

+1, Great Hack :) Could you please explain the reason for this behavior? Your Source?

namespace part is regex, so if you don want to trigger click to not namespaced event only , you have to find a way to set empty namespace string here.

Is there any way to trigger every click handler except one with the namespace confirm? ('click.confirm') I don´t really understand regex very well..
