$.quickMethods({
bind: ['click'],
attr: ['val','href','title'],
css: ['display','height','width']
});
is sexy. similar to the perl use with parameters.
I can also envision $.quickMethods('all') and even
$.quickMethods(['all','log'])
(for the juniors among us -- me!)
what about a method called use(listofgeneratedroutines) which can whip
up all the normal methods that we all... sometimes.. use.
