Brandon mentioned making it so that you could do:
$(Something, SomeContext).closest("div");
And closest would limit its search to within the context of the original
$(...).
The problem is that:
$(DOMElement, DOMElement)
Doesn't work right now (the context is ignored). Thus, we need to make it
work. Incidentally, there was a proposal a while back to make
$(DOMElement, DOMElementContext)
be roughly equivalent to:
$(DOMElement).filter(function(){
return $(DOMElementContext).has(this);
});
If we were to implement $(DOMElement, DOMElementContext) we would also be
able to access the DOMElementContext (in .context) inside .closest() -
giving us the ability to implement
$(Something, SomeContext).closest("div");
