I took a stab at making it a little bit simpler:
function package(ns) {
ns = ns.split('.');
var cur = window, i;
while ( i = ns.shift() ) {
if ( !cur[i] ) cur[i] = {};
cur = cur[i];
}
}
so, at the top of your code just add:
package("foo.bar.baz");
and it makes sure that that namespace exists.
While I don't think this belongs in jQuery's core - adding this in to
a central OO/inheritance plugin might be a good idea.
