You made me think about confusing the maintainers :)
This would certainly do that but wouldn't break any code:
$.fn._text = $.fn.text;
$.fn.text = function( toTextNode ) {
if( toTextNode === true )
return
this.pushStack( [ document.createTextNode( this._text() ) ] );
return this._text();
}
So you could do:
$("a").text(true).appendTo("#sanbox");
and even $("a").text(true).end() would return $('a')
