A tested implementation for endAll():
jQuery.fn.endAll = function() {
return this.stack ? this.get( this.stack[0] ) : this;
};

That would return the modified jQuery object.

I like the idea of endAll(), but it won't help plugin developers: When a plugin
wants to return "this" unmodified, it must return the stack as it was. endAll()
would modify "this" if a filter or similar method was applied before the plugin.
To savely restore the state, you could do something like this (untested):
jQuery.fn.plugin = function() {
var oldStack = $.merge( [], this.stack );
// do other stuff
this.stack = oldStack;
return this;
};
By merging the current stack into an empty array, a copy of the current stack
is created, which can then be used to restore the stack.
