Hi plugin writers,

I'd like to point to a small change I made recently to the jQuery 
Plugins Authoring article, for all those who take others code as 
reference. The "reference code" to define defaults and parse options now 
looks like this:

jQuery.fn.pluginMethod = function(options) {
  var settings = $.extend({
    stuff: [5, 3, 6, 1],
    name: "pete",
    speed: 5
  }, options || {});
  // other plugin code
};

So far this is the shortest way to write that particular snippet, and 
I'd like to see it in your plugins :-)

Credits for the options || {} idea go to Franck Marcia.

Regards
Jörn
