/**
* Provides the ability to hook into any jQuery.fn[method]
* with onbeforeMETHOD, onMETHOD, and onafterMETHOD. 
*
* Pass in a string or array of method names you want 
* to hook with onbefore, on, or onafter. 
*
* Example: 
* 	jQuery.hook('show');
*	jQuery(selector).bind('onbeforeshow', function (e) { alert(e.type);});
*   jQuery(selector).show() -> alerts 'onbeforeshow'
*
*   jQuery.hook(['show','hide']);
*   jQuery(selector)
*       .bind('onbeforeshow', function (e) { alert(e.type);})
*       .bind('onshow', function (e) { alert(e.type);})
*       .bind('onaftershow', function (e) { alert(e.type);})
*       .bind('onafterhide', function (e) { alert("The element is now hidden.");});
*   jQuery(selector).show().hide()
*        -> alerts 'onbeforeshow' then alerts 'onshow', then alerts 'onaftershow',
*             then after the element is hidden alerts 'The element is now hidden.'
*
*
* You can also unhook what you've hooked into by calling jQuery.unhook() passing
* in your string or array of method names to unhook.
