$.copy

[Byron]

It would be nice to add a function which allows you to copy an object and all its properties, for those cases where you dont want $.extend to overwrite your original object.

$.extend($.copy(myObj), {foo : 'bar'});

This is better implemented in your own code base. It can be achieved with the following code.

$.copy = function(obj) {
    return $.extend({}, obj);
};
