The jQuery code itself uses $ toggle: function(){ $(this)[ $(this).is(":hidden") ? "show" : "hide" ].apply( $(this), arguments ); },
The $ is great for the end user, but it is a very generic alias. I don't think it is a good idea for jQuery or plugins to use it internally. But it might already be too late to change this...
