[development] behaviors context

[David Cohen]

So just to clarify, will the context always refer to a single element? 
In other words should my code be:

$elem = $(context).get(0);
do_my_behavior($elem);

or, more like:

$(context).each(function () {
  $elem = $(this).get(0);
  do_my_behavior($elem);
});


And in the first invocation, when context == document, will
$(document).get(0) return the document?

Thanks everyone for helping me understand.
