subclass enhancment

[digitalxero@…]

Currently the only top level method that a jQuery subclass gets is 'subclass'. With a small patch you really get a full jQuery subclass and subclassing the subclass does what you would expect and brings over any top level methods/attributes you defined on your subclass.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing an enhancement request.

It would be good (and give this suggestion more visibility) if you would file a pull request for this with the changes you made. If you don't know how to do this check

I would actually consider this a bug in the current subclass implementation as you are not getting a subclass of jQuery you are getting a subclass of jQuery.fn

Make sure subclass is a proper subclass not just subclassing the fn methods. Fixes #7979.

I am not positive that #5880 is in fact a duplicate of this issue. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but please review this comment:
