jquery.eq() acts strange when passed a string

[nickmcclellan]

From 1.2.6 source:

443 eq: function( i ) {
444 return this.slice( i, i + 1 );
445 }

This works fine when passed an integer. Selects a range when passed a string. For example:

.eq("1")

passes ("1", "11") to slice instead of (1, 2).

The index must be a number, that's how it's described on the docs.

Applied the change at [5754].
