What a bout a garbage collector prototype method? Is there any plugin like
this?

garbage:(function(splice){
    return function(){
        var length = this.length;
        while(length){
            if(!contains(this.context, this[--length]))
                splice.call(this, length, 1);
        };
        return this;
    };
})(Array.prototype.splice),

The problem is that to use the jQuery contains function it requires to be
inside the library since if I am not wrong contains is not exposed.

What do you think?
