Description

Per what Dave Methvin wrote in I am posting this as a reminder.

Add helper functions .checked() and .disabled() which manipulate or return their properties (just like val()).

I suspect that those two are the most frequently used attributes/properties, and adding those helpers would probably negate the majority of the confusion regarding properties.

Also there may be a speed increase since they can directly go to the dom .checked or .disabled for the element.

Is this almost a duplicate of #7441 ?

Close enough I think. We only need one ticket for these methods.
