Is the jQuery UI Touch library aliased?
===

I see that the beginning lines of the jQuery UI Touch Puch are this :

    (function ($) {
    
        // Detect touch support
        $.support.touch = 'ontouchend' in document;

and that the ending line is this:

    })(jQuery);

Does that mean that dollar sign inside this code is aliased?  We're running into problems of having different versions of jQuery running on the same page (Adobe Edge animations requiring an older version and our application doing the latest / greatest drag drop from a new version).  We'd like to start aliasing our code to a different variable and want to make sure we have all our versions covered.  Is this library already aliased?
