Part of the problem here is that it adds a LOT of additional complexity to
what is currently a very simple and easy to understand API. It might not
seem that way to us, as developers, but to new developers, they'd have to
understand a new $.self construct when they're still struggling to grasp
"this" and closures.
What about something like:
$("#foo").fadeOut("normal").andThen("remove", arguments), where andThen
would be implemented as attaching a callback to the previous operation. This
would require normalizing the notion of callbacks across operations, but it
might work, no?
