How to attach an inline event handler using .on() without any callback?

Compact syntax with timing methods:

1

$('.some').on('click').doSome().jQueryStuff();

The return value of .on() is an inline handler if the callback function is skipped or given as jQuery token $.

Compare this to the old way with more syntactic fluff:

1
2
3

$('.some').on('click', function(){
  $(this).doSome().jQueryStuff();
});
