Like .quickEach, but subtly different

jquery.ba-each2.js

// Plugin released:
// http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-misc-plugins/#each2

James, I was thinking of releasing this as a standalone "jQuery fast .each" plugin, with code pretty much just as it is in this gist, and with the callback signature fn.call( dom_elem, i, jq_object ). Would you object to that? (I don't want to step on your toes here)

I also definitely think that this should be considered for inclusion in core, with Resig making whatever decision regarding its signature/context if necessary, should it ever get to that point. I personally feel that changing jQuery's .each signature from fn.call( dom_elem, i, dom_elem ) to fn.call( dom_elem, i, jq_object ) would be acceptable, but that's obviously not my call.

Ok, major correction.. this is going to be WAY slower than the core .each in scenarios where the user doesn't need a jQuery object inside the callback... so it should definitely be a separate method. See http://jsperf.com/jquery-each-vs-quickeach/2

Ok, pluginized and released!
