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...

Thanks

Laurent
