Proposing to add similar to $.fn.eq behavior for $.fn.end method.

Description

Sometimes traverse chain might be long, sometimes it is required to climb couple states up, instead of one.

Than, in order not to break chain and not traverse some more, it's need to call end method couple times, like when you use parentNode property in DOM.

I'm proposing to eliminate this calls by replacing them to just one call with extra argument if needed.

I feel like this had been proposed before and denied because it encourages developers to write code that is hard to read. I can't seem to find the old discussion, I did a quick check in Trac and the 1.6 and 1.7 roadmap proposals.

Definitely makes code harder to read. Match up each filtering method with an .end() instead.

We like to keep the pull queue relatively clean, so please query about these on #jquery-dev before making pull requests.
