extend .end()

[[email protected]…]

Hi there,

i was using the .end() function for the first time and noticed, that it only traverses one step back in traversal for example:

$(this)
  .find('div')
    .attr('bar', 'foo')
      .find('ul')
        .attr('foo', 'bar')
  .end()
    .log('i am a div')
.end()
  .log('i am $(this)')

so, if i like to get back to $(this) i have to write

.end().end()

...

wouldnt it be nice to have a integer parameter for it :

.end(2)

so the .end() function knows, how many steps it should go up?

or to make some default strings like .end('first') so the .end() function knows, that the very first query is wanted?

what do you think?
