Yes, of course. If I whant to use jQuery methods I could also use filter():
$('#myid').filter('div.myclass').addClass('hereWeGo');
But I think that it would be good if people didn't have to think about
alternative constructs for performance reasons. I know it isn't always
possible, but I think, the library should do its best to optimize queries.
jQuery is not bad here, but there is still some room for improvements.
My original point was to show, that it is not "worthless", as Jake wrote, to
use queries like 'div#myid'.
