Why would jquery not pollute global namespace?
<p>It is said here:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Take a look at the source code of jQuery and you’ll see that the
  whole library is wrapped in a single, self-executing function that is
  assigned to the jQuery global object.</p>

<p>But since jQuery is GLOBAL object it does pollute global namespace or I miss something ?</p>
