jQuery find events handlers registered with an object

Question

I need to find which event handlers are registered over an object.

For example:

$(\"#el\").click(function() {...});
$(\"#el\").mouseover(function() {

For jQuery 1.8+, this will no longer work because the internal data is placed in a different object.

The latest unofficial (but works in previous versions as well, at least in 1.7.2) way of doing it now is - $._data(element, "events")

The underscore ("_") is what makes the difference here. Internally, it is calling $.data(element, name, null, true), the last (fourth) parameter is an internal one ("pvt").
