So the first array entry is used to display a tab, and the second to
hide it? Wouldn't it be be better to use it like this:
$().tabs({
animateShow: { height: 'show', opacity: 'show'},
animateHide: { height: 'hide', opacity: 'hide'}
});
This could then be applied to the jTicker, with something like this:
$().jticker({
showTicker: { height: 'show'},
hideTicker: { height: 'hide'}
});
This would enable plugin writes to simply point to the docs for animate,
instead of documenting their custom animation parser over and over again.

Could you explain this some more? Why was the original object modified?
