title: Get array of property values from array of objects with jquery
body: <p>I am trying to get from here: </p>
  
  <pre><code>example = [{
    name: "someone1",
    city: "somewhere1",
    state: "someplace1"
  },{
    name: "someone2",
    city: "somewhere2",
    state: "someplace2"
  }]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>example.name = [ "someone1", "someone2" ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In as little a code as possible. Obviously I could just loop it and build the array but I need to do this a large number of times on a variety of objects. I could write a function to do it but it would be difficult to make the function general enough for my application.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a shortcut for this in jQuery?</p>
