One idea that I had was a special jQuery object that produces a
wrapped function, something like:

$("#foo").fadeOut("normal", jQuery.self.remove());

More complicated:

$("#foo").fadeOut("normal",
  jQuery.self.hide("fast",
    jQuery.self.remove()));

That wouldn't be "that hard" to implement (imo) - any interest? I
could probably code something up if there is.
