Here's an example:
I have an anchor that is supposed to open a modal via a plugin when clicked and the anchor has a second event simply bound to the click event with no namespace. Elsewhere on the page, I want to open the same modal but there's a possibility that certain actions that place the click event on the anchor haven't transpired. I can easily check that by looking for a namespaced event on the anchor, and if it exists, trigger the namespaced event only.
