Prevent get(-1) to create a new jQuery object

[rkatic]

Instead of

( num < 0 ? this.slice(num)[ 0 ] : this[ num ] );

you will write

( num < 0 ? slice.call(this, num)[ 0 ] : this[ num ] );

or even better (for me)

( num < 0 ? this[ this.length - num ] : this[ num ] );

[rkatic]

oops, wrong sign

( num < 0 ? this[ this.length + num ] : this[ num ] );

Sorry, what is the issue here? What use case is there for this?

[rkatic]

.get(Number) returns a single element. It is unnecessary and relatively expensive to create a new jQuery object calling .slice() only to get a single value.
