[jQuery] What is the reason to introduce :gt selector?


There is already a .gt(n) funcion in the core. I've found it very
confusing because it behaves differently that other selectors form css
specs like e.g. :nth-child. It works globally on set of all matched
elements after the selection process is performed what is different
from css selectors which are tested for each element separately.
For example it doesn't allow me for example select every non first
<li> element of several <ul> lists because it will select only first
<li> of first list instead of e.g. five first <li> elements of five
<ul> lists.
