jQuery.noConflict() changes the value of $ even if $ !== jQuery

Description
Suppose I have the following:
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="mootools.js"></script>
<script>
alert($) alerts mootools' $ function
jQuery.noConflict()
alert($) alerts 'undefined'
</script>
This seems like a bug; it in fact introduces a conflict and breaks mootools. If $!==jQuery, calling jQuery.noConflict() should return without changing the value of $.
I have attached a patch.

Agree with snover. noConflict should be called before loading mootools. Setting the $ to undefined might actually be preferable in other use cases.
Since my line breaks were stripped, here goes again:
<script src="jquery.js"></script> <script src="mootools.js"></script> <script> alert($); /* alerts mootools' $ function */ jQuery.noConflict(); alert($); /* alerts 'undefined' */</script>
