[jQuery] What about the rest of my javascript?

[jQuery] What about the rest of my javascript?

I'm a long time prototype user and have had a love/hate relationship with it. I've spent a lot of time tweaking prototype to suit my needs in the DOM manipulation area. However, I do somewhat like what prototype has to offer in the object oriented approach. I'm curious what the views are pertaining to implementing something like Dean Edward's Base [1]. Would something like this be an 'officially' supported plugin or part of the library? Really I'm just curious if jQuery always intendeds to just be a DOM manipulation library or if it will help me make the rest of my javascript fun to program?
BTW ... I've been looking through the source code and the docs and I really, really like what I see. Amazing documentation, nice clean global namespace, active community and a build system that includes Dean's packer. Great work. I'm looking forward to using it and writing some plugins of my own. :)
