[jQuery] Standard DOM returned from jQuery selector

[Jesse]

I have a feeling I'm just missing something in the documentation, but
is there anyway to get a standard DOM object to return from a jquery
selector?

<div id="context">
   <div class="target"></div>
</div>

Essentially I want a way for $('.target', '#context')  to give me the
equivalent of
document.getElementById('context').getElementsByTagName('div')[0]
