It would be quite nice if. $  ( defined as: )

function(selector, context) {
            // The jQuery object is actually just the init
constructor
'enhanced'
            return new jQuery.fn.init(selector, context);
        }

if the above will have a few sanity checks so that one can do this :

try {
        jq = $("...", "......") ;
} catch ( x )
{
   // x.number === jQuery.error_code
    // x. message == "jQuery error message"
}

This would remove 90% of issues and will explain to a lot of people a
lot about jQuery ...

PS: of course to even start jQuery in the presence of serious abuses
like Object.prototype extensions one is always welcomed to start from
http://dbj.org/jquery.1.3.2.safe.slow.js  ....
