Include jQuery.find(array, function(element, index){...})

It would work like jQuery.grep but would would return true if the function returns true for some element or false otherwise.

There is already a .find() and we wouldn't want to overload the semantics. Can you create an example (using another name) that demonstrates the desired functionality at jsFiddle.net?

Sorry, I don't understand why is that necessary, nor why would $.find conflict with $.fn.find since it doesn't make sense to keep the same semantics for $.find. You could call it anything you like, like findFirst, I really don't care as much as you provide some method that includes this behavior.

It seems like a really bad idea to have the semantics of $.find conflict significantly with $.fn.find since that would confuse things. Sounds like this would be best done with a plugin and if we thought it was worthwhile we could pull it into core.
