Re: [jQuery] Possible changes to hide/show

I tend to agree with John on this - smoothing away these bumps doesn't make a lot of difference individually, but all that polish in combination has and is making jQuery a pleasure to use.

I disagree. While it would be 'painful' - I think adding it in to
jQuery would be really good - that's why I added in the original
hide/show hack. Rather than having more true features (since those can
always be spun off into plugins), jQuery should have the "least amount
of surprises". Having code behave as you would expect it to is much
more powerful than having to apply hacks to work around problems. Do
you agree with me?

(IMO, the best solution would be to just make the animations just
reference the technology in .show() and .hide(), rather than having to
duplicate it all over again)
