[jQuery] $.WRAP is good, yet how about $.UNWRAP function? tips?

[Nilesh Patel]

hey peeps,
wonder what you all use or could use, to  UNWAP a tag,
after its been its been added with teh $.wrap() function

for example:
 text etc.. 

so lets say you wanted to just keep the P tag, and unwarp the it, (drop 
span tag)? would be nice to just to do something like... 
$('removeMe').unwarp();
in turn would result in .. text  etc...


what to drop only the span tag without too much effort., any quick or 
easy already exciting function that do this?
thanks,

My stab at it:

$.fn.unwrap = function(expr) {
  return this.each(function(){
 $(this).parents(expr).eq(0).after(this).remove();
  });
};

Then you could do:
$("#keepMe").unwrap("span");

Untested, but worth a shot.
