http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/4388 Though I thought there was a bigger
master bug for this.
It's because of how for a long time jQuery has checked for "undefined"
arguments rather than checked for the length of the arguments.
As a result:
.css('width', undefined); would be interpreted as a css getter rather
than a css setter and without warning return a css value instead of the
jQuery object, as a result if you tried to chain from it you would
magically in an unexpected way get errors about it not being defined.
The same issue applied to a large number of jQuery methods like .attr,
.val, etc... which work as both getters and setters.
I was under the impression that this was on the todo list, rather than
already fixed, cause I could swear I ran into this while working with
the 1.3 series.
