I want to iterate over the results of a jQuery selection, but I don't want the DOM nodes. I want each result to be a jQuery object. Is there a way to do that? For example:

$(#mySelectId > option).each(function (option) {

  // option is a DOM node here, not a jQuery object.

  // That means in order to call jQuery methods on it, I have to do something like this:

  var jqOption = $(option); // I don't want to have to do this.

  // Now I can do things like this:

  jqOption.addClass('myCSSClass');

}
