wait, you were complaining your logic is different so you need to write your
idiom logic each time you need it. As you wrote, you need at least 2 extra
operations for what you need so you are asking here to change and slow down
jQuery for a 1% of "lazyness", your requirements ... and sometimes.
Now try to imagine everybody is using jQuery for their own application and
everybody would like to change the standard behavior ... we do not want a
"war" here, as long as jQuery allows us with two lines to obtain, when we
need, the expected behavior.
My plugin was a sugestion for your single case, I do not want a context in
my search by default, got my point? :-)
