$.getScript (ajax 'script' dataType) regression on cache control

[ambrauer]

Versions 1.4+ no longer automatically set cache to false if undefined.

The culprit seems to be this line:

if ( s.dataType == "script" && s.cache == null )
    s.cache = false;

which was updated to:

if ( s.dataType === "script" && s.cache === null ) {
    s.cache = false;
}

which no longer evaluates to true (s.cache is undefined, so == will evaluate to true, whereas === to false). No big deal, but maybe this should be noted in the documentation, and/or code removed since it's no longer doing anything.
