.get() vs .toArray(), .get(index) vs [index]

.get() vs .toArray(), .get(index) vs [index]


My English is not so good so will be short.
I am not sure why the get() function exists. Because it is shorter
then toArray()? But my code would by more clear with an toArray
instead, An foo.get(index) is not clearer nor shorter then foo[index]
for me.
In my opinion the "get" function is not really necessary and would by
deprecated if an more explicit toArray would exists.
The implementation of toArray() would be banal:
jQuery.fn.toArray = function() { return Array.prototype.slice.apply
(this, arguments) };
or even:
jQuery.fn.toArray = Array.prototype.slice;
Thoughts? Am I disregarding something here?
