Regression: Cannot use appendTo() with a jQuery object that holds many elements

Description

I have a jQuery object to which I push two elements. Then I use .appendTo() to append these elements into another element. This works in 1.4.2 but not in 1.4.3.

Here's an example:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>jQuery test</title>
    <!-- use 1.4.2 if you want to see it work -->
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.3.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="target"></span>

    <script>
(function() {
    var container = $();
    container.push($('<span>foo</span>'));
    container.push($('<span>bar</span>'));
    container.appendTo($('#target'))
})();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Sorry about pasting code to the ticket. This is my first ticket and I only found out after posting that jsFiddle is preferred.

There are much simpler ways this problem could be coded, but I've tested your original code out in 1.4.3 (and our latest version from Git) and it does indeed appear to be broken with both. Opening as a valid ticket and flagging for further review.

A jQuery object should contain an array of DOM elements, not other jQuery objects. Also, there has never been a documented method 

.push
on a jQuery object.
