Yeah, I'm open if some interesting use cases are proposed but for now I'm
hesitant to add new syntax/parsing to $(...) for minor benefit.

Yeah. I didn't mean to imply that my code was a serious use-case. Its
just where I tripped myself up, thinking I could create a jQuery object
that held "html" text that didn't happen to have any angle brackets in

Well, you could also do:
$("h1").prepend("§");
The reasoning behind handling selectors (and HTML) in $(...) and then later
appending/prepending/etc. them into the document is that you can modify them
in the interim.
For example:
$("Something").click(function(){ }).prependTo("div.section");
