rather than another branch with dirty code in the middle, I would prefer a
dedicated jQuery.debug.js as external file able to wrap "everything" and
redefine the library itself.
in this way you can use always latest jQuery version and add, locally, a
script with jQuery.debug.js file where inside you'll find something like:
jQuery = $ = (function($){
function jQuery(){
if(this instanceof jQuery)
throw new Error("it does not make sense to use new $");
return $.apply(null, arguments);
};
jQuery.prototype = $.prototype;
return jQuery;
})($);
the same could be done for methods, in prototype or static.
This is worthy if what you need to check are arguments, scopes, other rather
than core code itself ( at least that should be jQuery problem, I mean
errors check )
