[jQuery] Reading comments from the dom.

[jQuery] Reading comments from the dom.

Although we rarely want to pay any attention (programmatically) to the comments in the html, I thought it would be cool to read them in jquery.
They are in the dom, obj.nodeType == COMMENT_NODE. But jquery just skips over that node type.
I could imagine doing $('a').prevComments() or $('a').nextComments() or $('a').Comments()
A plugin could drop down to simple dom navigation to get the info and then return the text.
Has anyone done this? Does it sound useful to anyone?
