What's the difference between $.proxy and the native js 'call' / 'apply'?
<p>I believe they both allow you to control the value of 'this', but beyond that, I'm a little unclear and Google/SO isn't helping much so far. Any clarification appreciated. I did find this, but I'm skeptical that it tells the whole story: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"When I first learned about jQuery's proxy() method, I thought it was
  a little silly; after all, Javascript already has call() and apply()
  methods for changing execution context. But, once you realize that
  jQuery's proxy() method allows you to easily bind() and unbind() event
  handlers regardless of context, it becomes obvious just how powerful
  this method is.</p>
