Removing event handlers fails if method names are used.

[gramster]

If you have this:

   void foo(e) {}
   window.on.message.add(foo);
   window.on.message.remove(foo);

the handler will not get removed. Apparently thjis is because a new closure is created with each parameter reference to the method foo, so they are not seen as the same thing.

OTOH this works:

   void bar(e) {}
   var foo = bar;
   window.on.message.add(foo);
   window.on.message.remove(foo);

It would be good if this was fixed, and if not possible, then it should be clearly documented as it is real gotcha.
