In jquery, is there a way to iterate over a jQuery array without $(this)?
<p>I know the standard way of doing it:</p>

<pre><code>$('div').each(function(){
      // here `this` is bound to DOM Element
      // use $(this) to access the jQuery wrapper
})'
</code></pre>

<p>But this is a little bit cumbersome because we need to use <code>$(this)</code> everywhere and this causes a performance penalty as shown by <a href="http://jsperf.com/jquery-each-this" rel="nofollow">http://jsperf.com/jquery-each-this</a>. </p>

<p>I am looking for a way to iterate over a jQuery array/selector with <code>this</code> bound to the jQuery wrapper instead of to the DOM element.</p>
