I like this methods and I'm using them a lot. They are very handful when I
must to do some operation on subset of elements:
$("p:gt(4)").show().gt(10).css("color","red");
Or, if you need to operate multiple time on same collection:
var my_coll = $("p");
my_coll.gt(3).css("color","red");
my_coll.lt(3).css("color","blue");
This stuff cannot be done by solely in selector expression.
