UPDATE: I've removed reg.pause() and reg.resume() from the trunk. Sean Hogan makes a good point in the comments below. Plus, now that reglib is doing delegation on form events, things get complicated maintaining the pause/resume system alongside the branch of code that simulates bubbling for form events in IE. One can still easily disable an event by using a selector like this: "body.on a@href" and then adding/remove 'on' from the body classname as necessary.

reglib has reached 1.0.6. Updates include:

• methods for pausing and resuming event behavior: reg.pause() and reg.resume()
• mouseenter/mouseleave behavior as posted earlier

reg.pause() and reg.resume() follow a similar pattern to reg.removeEvent():

// handle hover on all links
var hoverLinks = reg.hover('a@href',function(e){
    // handle mouseenter
},function(e){
    // handle mouseleave
});

// stop handling hover on links
reg.pause(hoverLinks);

// resume handling hover on links
reg.resume(hoverLinks);
