Hi
Added this small plugin (673 bytes) that lets you namespace jQuery
methods.
You can use claim only one name ofjQuery.fn, and have multiple sub-
functions under that name.
This is one possible approach to keep the rule of only claiming one
name from the jQuery namespace.
You declare this:
$.fn.foo = function(){ ... };
$.fn.foo.bar = function(){ ... };
$.fn.foo.baz = function(){ ... };
And use it like this:
$(...).foo().bar( ... );
$(...).foo( .... );
$(...).foo().baz( ... ).foo().bar( ... ).foo( ... );
The plugin is code in such a way, that no closure is formed, and
there're no references to variables on other scope. Making this super
garbage-collection friendly.
It can be used for plugins, to access helper functions, or execute
commands on the base call.
Something like this was requested before, a few times, these are the
last 2:

It's another approach for the command pattern, or the event pattern:

It can also be useful for people that structure their code into
modules/plugins, even though they aren't actually doing real plugins.
Here's the homepage: http://flesler.blogspot.com/2008/04/jquerymodularize.html
It has documentation, an example, and a link to the demo.
Any feedback/bug reporting is much appreciated.
Peace
