[jQuery] Missing from core?

[jQuery] Missing from core?

Core/Plugin decisions are always difficult. However, I think adding
size and position information to jQuery core would be a great benefit
to plugin developers. There are lots of differences between browsers.
I am very much experiencing this trying to make an autocompleter work
cross browser.
Stefan Petre has done an excellent job with his iutils extension.
Maybe the size and position functions, or equivalents (but why do it
all over again) should be included in jQuery core.
P.S. left() top() and such are not what I need. There is a difference
between css width and height and the exact position on the page. e.g.
left() will often return "auto".
