Description

It is sometimes necessary to preserve the children of an element and just delete the element itself (e.g. when you wrap/wrapInner an element and want to get rid of the wrapper). This patch adds a removeThis() function to jQuery.

You can do that manually when needed. Is not a commonly needed feature/addition.
