Looking at https://github.com/NYTimes/backbone.stickit/blob/master/backbone.stickit.js#L115-L136; I notice you're throwing events into this.events and then re-invoking this.delegateEvents.

Can we change that to invoking this.$el.on and then (on unstickit) calling this.$el.off?

The main problem is as follows:

List = Backbone.View.extend({

  bindings: {
    '.actions .selector': {
      observe: '$checked'
    }
  },

  events: {
    'change .selector': function(event) {
      // ...
    }
  }

);

I only want the manual event binding to be invoked when directly changing the checkbox via a click. However, I do want the the bindings hash to sync the state of the checkbox with the model.
