jQuery.fn の目的は何ですか?

function Test() {
  this.a = 'a';
}

// Prototype property adds inherited property
Test.prototype.b = 'b';

// Instantiate and access properties
var test = new Test(); 

console.log(test.a); // "a", own property
console.log(test.b); // "b", inherited property

(function() {
  // Constructor accepts argument and ensures use of `new` operator
  var foo = function(arg) {
    if (!(this instanceof foo))
      return new foo(arg);
    this.myArg = arg;
  };

  // Alias `fn` property to `prototype` property
  foo.fn = foo.prototype = {
    // Define methods here
  };

  // Expose the library
  window.foo = foo;
})();

// Extension via `fn` alias
foo.fn.myPlugin = function () {
  // Access inherited argument
  alert(this.myArg);
  // Chainability requires returning `this`
  return this;
};

// Usage: extend and invoke plugin method
foo("bar").myPlugin(); // alerts "bar"
