What are jQuery valHooks?
<p>After reading about <code>valHooks</code> in a <a href="http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9319">jQuery defect</a> and more recently seen in a <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/bV5fu/1/">fiddle</a> I searched the jQuery documentation and Google but I can't find anything other than a short example in the <a href="http://blog.jquery.com/2011/05/03/jquery-16-released/">jQuery 1.6 release post</a>. Please can someone explain what <code>valHooks</code> are and why they are useful?</p>
