jquery 1.11 not working on objects with attribute .length = 0

If there is an object that does got an attribute "length" which value is 0 jquery can not be used on it.

>> jQuery({length:0})

[]

>> jQuery({length:1})

[Object]

This is unexpected behaviour, horrible to debug and the source code does not provide a reasoning behind the check. (see function isArrayLike)

I was asked on IRC to provide examples how this can turn into a problem here are two examples:

resolution:	→ notabug
status:	new → closed

That is the way it's supposed to work. https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/

I've submitted a docs issue, feel free to make a pull request. https://github.com/jquery/api.jquery.com/issues/473
