Bind 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind 
creates a new function.

Let's say we have #1:

document.body.addEventListener('click', myExampleClass.method.bind(this));

and then:

document.body.removeEventListener('click', myExampleClass.method);

based on my research it should not be correct as the function created by 
bind is different than the original passed by reference in 
document.body.removeEventListener.

If it is not correct then the approach like:

var myRef = myExampleClass.method.bind(this);

document.body.addEventListener('click', myRef);
document.body.removeEventListener('click', myRef);

should be more appropriate, I guess.

Need some thoughts on that.
