that's fine if you already know the self matches the selector. but if
you're not sure, it's more like:
var $found = $(context).find('selector');
if ($(context).is('selector')) $found = $found.andSelf();
i have a few of places where i have to do this and would also be happy
to see a feature that simplified it.
