[jQuery] Undocumented move/copy behavior of append() et al.

[jQuery] Undocumented move/copy behavior of append() et al.


Hi,
At [1] and [2] I read about the different behavior of append() (and
similar functions) depending on whether there are many targets (->
copy) or there is just one target (-> move).
For generated pages where the target count is not known, this behavior
seems to be a source of troubles. Maybe a method-parameter which
explicitly specifies whether the source should be copied or moved
would have been preferable.
I do not know if it is too late for such a change now. At least the
current behaviour should be explicitly mentioned in the API
documentation of append() [3] and the related methods.
Kind regards,
Markus
