JQuery: can i use $ ('superset'). $ ('. inside') instead of $ ('. inside', $ ('. superset'))?

Question

Can jQuery be extended so that I can use the above syntax?

I cannot figure out how to prototype everything that $ () returns, so that I can call $ (). $ ()

Thank.

Yes!

$.fn.$ = $.fn.find;

Now you can use .$()

you can use find()

eg: $('.superset').find('.within');

or much easier, $('.superset .within');
