I want to be able to match against all elements in a given context including the context element itself.
Here is the code I'm using currently, but it seems inefficient. Is there a better way?
Note: I'm using jQ 1.3.2, but I'll upgrade soon so I'm interested in 1.4 solutions too.

var context = $('#id');   
var filters = '.class1, .class2';

// take context itself if it matches filters
$(context).filter(filters)
// add anything matching filters inside context
.add($(filters, context))

Note: .add($(f,c)) works in jQ 1.3 as .add(f,c) in jQ 1.4
