Change .add() to .and()

[me@…]

The "add" name is confusing. Does it add to the original element list? Does it add it as a children?

$(this).and(that).doSomething(); would be more readable.

While we're at it, we could make it easy to add multiple elements: $(this).and(that, them, others, ducks).doABarrelRoll();

Replying to me@…:

It does what the docs say it does: "Add elements to the set of matched elements."

So did .andSelf() when they changed it to .addBack() .and() would be easier to read.

Also "Add elements to the set of matched elements." is confusing too. Does it change the original object? (I know the answer but it isn't clear to the uninitiated)
