Fair enough, however, part of what makes jQuery appealing to developers is
that it doesn't modify built-ins and can therefore never conflict with any
other library (this is a "cost of development and maintenance" win for
most). If rigid protection from redefinition is important to an end
developer, I'd recommend they load SES first to secure the environment and
then load in their application dependencies, etc.
