title: Force jQuery to not register $
body: <p>I know there exists a command like jQuery.noConflict. But for this it first registers $, then un-registers it afaik.</p>
  
  <p>I want to edit the jQuery 1.3.2 code to stop it from registering the $ in the first place. I know its not the best of ideas, but I need this in a particular project. Am just not sure how it can be done? I mean what part of jquery.js should I edit/remove? Also, how can I rename jQuery to say jQ from the start itself?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time. Would like any pointers.</p>
  
  <p>I think I need to delete the following from the jQuery code (for 1.4.2):</p>
  
  <pre><code>// Expose jQuery to the global object
  window.jQuery = window.$ = jQuery;
  </code></pre>
