Since .get(-1) will be supported, eq(-1) would be supported too (?).

So your implementation needs some extra code:

eq: function( i ) {
    if ( i < 0 )
        i += this.length;
    return this.pushStack( this[i], 'eq', i )
}

However this solution would be still faster then the one on
http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/4188, I suppose.
