The ticket didn't seem to draw much attention, and this groups seems 
more suitable for extensive discussions.

That's a good point, Eric.
If I understand this correctly, though, it might suffice to ensure that 
the $ alias is not used where eval is invoked?
However, that could become a bit messy. (I'd have to think on this a 
little more.)

I've just brought this up on jQuery's IRC channel. People there suggest 
that $j is indeed the most commonly used shortcut name.

We might be engaging in premature optimization here.

So I'm with Paul in that I think we should defer this issue until we 
actually have more jQuery code in the core.
However, I can see the arguments for nailing it down now.
