title: Getting the base element from a jQuery object
body: <p>I'm struggling to find the right terminology here, but if you have jQuery object...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#MyObject')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...is it possible to extract the base element? Meaning, the equivalent of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>document.getElementById('MyObject')
  </code></pre>
