$.ajax 'error' and 'complete' callbacks ignore dataType.

Description
$.ajax will always pass the xhr to s.error and s.complete, without regard for the dataType argument (see http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/jquery/src/ajax.js#L476).
I initially thought my code was screwy, as I expected the first argument of any callback to be the json response when dataType == 'json'. Is there a specific reason for this discrepancy in the API?

Most likely because the easy case is when things go right. :)
All I can say is that it's working as documented, and I can't imagine it being changed since a lot of code depends on the current documented behavior. With that in mind I'll close the bug, but you could start a discussion on the jQuery-dev group.
