Collection uses 1.2.5. I suppose we are waiting for ScriptLoader to be ready,
but it would be really helpful if it would be included normally for the meantime
so that site admins can start rewriting site-wide scripts. It has a very small
footprint (20k minified and gzipped), it is unobtrusive (AFAIK 1.3 doesn't even
conflict with other jQuery versions) and cannot be loaded through importScript()
due to a bug in older Explorers, which leaves including it full in
MediaWiki:Common.js which is not a nice sight...
