obj.bind("myevent", function(e) {
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
    console.log(e.sender === obj); // outputs "true"
/* The result can be observed in the DevTools(F12) console of the browser. */
    console.log(this === obj); // also outputs "true"
});
obj.trigger("myevent"); // causes the handler to be executed
</script>
