[jQuery] click() on submit button doesn't trigger form's jquery submit handler

[Will Moffat]

I expected that calling click() on a submit button would trigger a
form's submit handler, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Example: register a jQuery submit handler:
$('form').submit(function() { alert('jquery submit handler'); });

Then click the corresponding submit button:
$('input[type=submit]').click();

The submit handler isn't fired.

Is this a bug or a feature?
