jQuery properties that mimic DOM properties

One of the most common errors I see among new jQuery programmers is trying to access or assign DOM properties on jQuery objects. For instance, today on StackOverflow I saw this:

$('input', this).checked = true;

Except in the cases where the DOM property has the same name as a jQuery method, it seems like it should be possible to implement this using Javascript getters and setters.
