Along the same lines, we
have .addClass(), .removeClass(), .toggleClass(), but
no .swapClass() . Not sure if you want to add another method, but it
is kind of nice to be able to do something like $
('div').swapClass('old', 'new') instead of $
('div').removeClass('old').addClass('new').
I'm ambivalent about it, but thought I'd bring it up since we're sort
of brainstorming.
