That's an architectural quirk of jQuery - it's their whole chainability
paradigm - everything returns a configured instance of jQuery.
It works well in JavaScript, but I can see how it wouldn't work well in
a typed languge. That said, jQuery's chainability paradigm is not my
favorite, even in javascript. I often feel like all I really need from
jQuery is Sizzle (the selector engine it's based on), and some of the
compatibility shims it contains (event normalization).

What I don't like about the haXe-jQuery API is that every object has
type "JQuery". It seems to be it would be much programmer-friendly if
there were sub-classes for the individual elements. Imagine if in AS3
you could never specify any display object to be anything more
specific than a Sprite or an Object.
