Multiple arguments support in addClass

[spudly]

It'd sure be nice if addClass() supported multiple string arguments for times when I'm using variables for the class names. That way instead of:

$el.addClass(foo).addClass(bar).addClass(baz);

... I could write:

$el.addClass(foo, bar, baz)

[spudly]

The other (nasty) alternative for adding multiple classes with one function call is:

$el.addClass(foo + ' ' + bar + ' ' + baz);

This probably won't happen, but we'll bring it up for discussion to be included in jQuery 1.9.

-1, Not needed.

$el.addClass( foo + ' ' + bar + ' ' + baz );
$el.addClass( [foo, bar, baz].join(" ") );
$el.addClass( arrayOfClasses.join(" ") );
$.fn.addClasses = function(){
  var $self = this;
  $.each( arguments, function(){
     $self.addClass( this );
  });
  return $self;
};
$el.addClasses( foo, bar, baz );
$.fn.addClasses.apply( $el, arrayOfClasses );

-1, Might actually cause some issues with the jQuery UI "animate class" signature.

Maybe just accept an array?

  $el.addClass(["a b", foo, "c d"]);
  // Equivalent to: "a b foo-class c d"
