I have no specific use case in mind for that particular example. I was
thinking of the second "closest" argument would act like a break
statement rather than a search within context.
Still, If the context is used to limit the traversal of the closest
loop, how would you set the context of raw DOM nodes such that $
( event.target ).closest(".foo"); was still useful?
