Handle Objects And The 'this' Keyword When Using Event Listeners?

So I know all about the caviats of the 'this' keyword when calling object functions from event listeners:

Code:
var foo = {bar: true, zoo: function() { return this.bar; }};
foo.zoo();
> true
a = foo.zoo;
a();
>

And I know that I can get around this by using an anonymous function so that 'this' is preserved in it's original context:

But then someone pointed out this article on memory leaks when using anonymous functions to call object methods because the anonymous function gets access to ALL variables in the enclosing environment and my not be properly disposed of by the garbage collector [URL] So that lead me to think about using a "3rd-person" approach to referencing object properties from within object methods.
