Remove use of bind() for inline functions

Follows-up b0e8900, 447e8de, d3f26e65.

Contrary to binding a reference, this-overiddes for inline
functions gets messy and fragile. There's also a minor
performance overhead that can be avoided. No separation of
concerns, eiter, as the object is held by the closure.

Also:
* Remove left-over instances of @method.
* Remove redundant '0' argument to setTimeout.
* Use null instead of $ for apply() on static methods like $.when.
* Use .empty().append() instead of .html(). Does the same but
  without additional overhead and without confusion association
  with "html" which isn't used (it doesn't serialise and re-parse
  or clone, it just appends when given one or more nodes).
