Support for useCapture

[jisaacks]

Now that jQuery 2.0 dropped support for IE <= 8, is there any reason not to support useCapture when adding event listeners? All the browsers that jQuery supports now support it.

If this can be added I would be willing to do the work. The only question is where in the on method signature to accept the param. I would guess: .on( events [, selector ] [, data ], handler [,userCapture]) but could also be: .on( events [, selector ] [, data ] [,userCapture], handler )

This is a dup of Trac #14953 . We've talked about adding capture in a new interface though, see gh-1735 . Are you interested in that one and does it fit your use cases?
