.empty() on input field instead of .val('')

Description

Why not input fields can be emptied when using the .empty() function instead declaring it with .val(''). It could be useful if .empty() could empty the input field AND reset it -- when I say reset I mean resetting the file input that can clear the selected file instead of emptying the value.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project!

Expanding the functionality of empty in that way would be arbitrary as empty works with html. Perhaps you could write a plugin to implement the behavior you are referring to.
