Proposal: $("'text") for $(document.createTextNode(text))

Proposal: $("'text") for $(document.createTextNode(text))

I'd like to propose that the jQuery() function accept a simple new
syntax to allow it to create simple text nodes. If the string argument
begins with an apostrophe, then treat the rest of the argument as plain
text and return a jQuery object that wraps a single text node.
I ask for this because I was trying to do this:
$("§").prependTo("h1");
Then I realized that since my string doesn't contain any angle brackets
it is being treated as a selector rather than as a string of HTML, and I
have to write this:
$(document.createTextNode("§")).prependTo("h1");
I don't know how valuable this feature would be, but I've attached a
simple (and barely tested) patch to implement it.
With the patch, the code above gets a single apostrophe added to it and
becomes:
$("'§").prependTo("h1");
