The $on()’s callback is bound to the event object

[bpierre]

var vm = new Vue({
    created: function() {
        console.log(this === vm) // true

        this.$watch('foo', function() {
            console.log(this === vm) // true
        })

        this.$on('bar', function(value) {
            console.log(this === vm) // false
        })
    }
})

Shouldn’t this be the current VM here? Maybe the event could be passed as a second parameter.

Since I'm using this way it doesn't really bother me but this is a good point.

var vm = new Vue({
    created: function() {
        var self = this
        console.log(self === vm) // true

        this.$watch('foo', function() {
            console.log(self === vm) // true
        })

        this.$on('bar', function(value) {
            console.log(self === vm) // true
        })
    }
})

Yes that’s what I am doing at the moment, I am just wondering if it’s on purpose.
