Perhaps .destroy should also clean out the jQuery array as well. Less
surprises if .destroy actually means absolute destruction of the nodes
and removing reference to them to avoid reuse.
$('select#from option').destroy(':not(:selected)').appendTo('select#to');
var _limbo;
function limbo(node) {
if(node) $(node).append(_limbo);
else _limbo = $('#foo').detach();
}
