And currently it's also the only way to get an empty jQuery object, as
an empty selector will return 'document'.
I thought that the plus sign would always concatenate if it's used
after a string. Just tested it and I can't make it evaluate as NaN,
only with "string"+(+var). Are you missing something in that code?
You can always add a check:
if (!this.length) alert('I failed, I'm empty!!')
