I like coding with $ too much to give it up, so I do this:
(function( $ ) {
// Plugin code goes here. You can use $ instead
// of jQuery, and you can use var to declare
// private variables.
})( jQuery );
As often as not I need some private data for the plugin anyway, so the
closure gives me that and lets me rename jQuery to $ at the same time. Very
convenient.
