wtf, I thought that valueOf was ignored for those kind of bools.
Taking another look, !! doesn't even run valueOf as I thought.
My comment was on the > operator, and your comment about what jquery
shows up as in firebug if used.
jQuery.fn.valueOf = function(hint){
if ( hint === "number" )
return this.length;
return this.get(); // on a second note, it would be nice to use a
toArray() instead.
};
