route.js: setState called before it is defined

The jQuery onReady event handler gets invoked before setState is defined in IE7:

1. $(function() {
2. $.route.ready();
3. });

triggering this code:

1. ready: function(val) {
2. if( val === false ) {
3. onready = false;
4. }
5. if( val === true || onready === true ) {
6. setState();
7. }
8. return $.route;
9. },

which throws a JavaScript runtime error because setState is defined later in the file.

I tried delaying the onready event by calling $.holdReady(true) but the ready event is triggered before $.holdReady is executed.

This bug appears to be fixed in the CanJS version of route.js where the onready even handler is bound after the setState method is defined:

but this defect has not been fixed in Javascript MVC 3.2.4. Are there plans to fix this defect in future releases of JavaScriptMVC?
