jQuery: Unbind event handlers to bind them again later

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#test').click(function(e) {
        alert('test');
        var events = $('#test').data("events");
        $('#test').unbind('click', events.click[0]);
    });
});

<a id="test">test</a>

var ary_handlers = [ fn_highlight, fn_onpress, fn_cleanup ];
for ( idx = 0; idx < ary_handlers.length; idx++ ){
  $('#test').bind('click.foobar',ary_handlers[idx]);
}

// and then later:
$('#test').unbind('.foobar');

var ary_handlers = [ fn_highlight, fn_onpress, fn_cleanup ];
for ( idx = 0; idx < ary_handlers.length; idx++ ){
  $('#test').bind('click.ns_' + String(idx), ary_handlers[idx]);
}

// and then later you could pick off a specific one to unbind
$('#test').unbind('.ns_2');
