[jQuery] Plugin Authoring

Yes, every use of $() in a plugin should be jQuery() to allow jQuery to be
mixed with other frameworks like prototype.js that use $ for their own
things. This rule is mainly there so that any plugin you write will
automatically work in those situations.
Still, if you're writing a plugin only for your personal (well, non-public)
use and you're not using prototype.js, then you can freely use $() in
plugins because there will be no conflict.
