This is, by far, the most friendly, relaxed technical group of people
you are going to find on the Internet. I think you might be taking it
a little too personal.
If you want to add something in your application that makes it behave
in a certain way, there is nothing stopping you. To suggest that it is
a design flaw or something wrong with jQuery is invalid, regardless of
your personal crusades ;)
A few lines of code and you have exactly what you want...but there
have been plenty of valid reasons as to why what you suggest will
never be part of "core" jQuery.
