Unpredictable API

[Ivanca]

Why the items callbacks (each option in the contex menu) aren't normal jQuery events but instead being called manually? (line 885 callback.call(root.$trigger, key, root)) and besides that those are being called with weird arguments, the first parameter of a callback should always be an Event object, that's how all event listeners work in jQuery, jQuery.UI and hundreads of plugins, then the other parameters could be the key and the root.

While you are probably right and have a valid argument it SHOULD be changed, I guess it is not really useful to open a issue for it because it CANNOT be changed. Changing the order of arguments would break a lot of applications. The developers have made that decision apparently years ago...

A major release can break backwards compatibility, that's what they are for; perhaps 3.0 or anything after.

Yeah i know the API is sometimes a bit weird. But i didn't feel like changing the argument order, i really hate breaking backwards compatibility.
