The new DOM binder API ensures that this the case. We've moved to a  
slightly more declarative model for getting elements in the document,  
deferring to the DOM binder to actually go and get things the right  
way, returning a jQuery instance.

The $ convention reminds me fondly of my days programming BASIC.
