I'm pretty sure this can be done with filter. In fact, a cursory test
with firebug on jQuery.com suggests it can:
>>> $('p');
[p, p, p.surprise, p, p.download_link, p.download_link, p, p, p]
>>> $('p:gt(2)');
[p, p.download_link, p.download_link, p, p, p]
>>> $('p:gt(2)').gt(4);
[p]
>>> $('p:gt(2)').filter(':gt(4)');
[p]
I'm all in favor of removing gt/lt/eq in favor of the selector version
with filter.
