Description
This would be super nice, because $.when.apply($, promisesArr) looks converugly.
I'm not sure if there's a case where you'd want an array to be treated like a resolved Deferred that this would break – if so, maybe you could peek at the first element to see if it's a promise?

So, considering the number of requests for this feature, I'm wondering if we should consider adding support?

Replying to [comment:7 rwaldron]:

If we do so, then we add the two liner given above. I think people are being lazy here and refuse to aknowledge the inconsistencies implied as long as "it works" for them.

@jaubourg TBH, I'm willing to go with whatever you recommend, but I also still think it's feature creep/bloat

#14117 is a duplicate of this ticket.
This would break things like:
Inspecting the first element only wouldn't make sense either.
You can easily code your own whenArray functionality if and when you're tired of apply:
jQuery.whenArray = function( array ) { return jQuery.when.apply( this, array ); };A "deep" when could be nice though but that's another conversation.
