Multiple Expression in .siblings(), .filter(), .not()

[anonymous]

Shouldn't $('label').siblings('input,textarea').addClass('blah'); work?

$('input,textarea').addClass('blah') works (but not at the scope of items that are siblings to labels.

A work around as pointed out on the mailing list is to $('label').siblings().find('input,textarea').

$('label').siblings('input').addClass('blah').end().siblings ('textarea').addClass('blah').end(); also works for what I'm doing, but it seemed to me the expression in siblings should work the same way as an expression in $(). Am I wrong on that?

Maybe this can be, internally, reduced to allowing jQuery.filter() take an array of expressions to filter against? That way just a str.split(',') can be passed in, where necessary.
