The only concern I have is that this could be yet another mysterious method
that someone might not know what it does. Will it work just lke javascript's
slice method?

That was the original goal, but I actually decided to introduce an
array method into jQuery to solve that problem: .slice(). Now gt/lt/eq 
will become:

gt: .slice(Num)
lt: .slice(0,Num)
eq: .slice(Num,1)

Plus slice gives you a ton of extra functionality:
first: .slice(0,1)
last: .slice(-1)
all but first and last: .slice(1,-1)
