Getting unset disabled option on button widget returns jQuery object, not default value

[mikemccaughan]

I need to determine whether a button is disabled or not. I assumed that calling the option method would do it:

var disabled = $('.button').button('option', 'disabled');
if (disabled) { ... }

When run against a button which was initialized without the disabled option set, it returns the $('.button') result, rather than the default false as I expected.

The workaround is obviously to check for a Boolean true, but it still seems somewhat confusing, especially given using the same format for the text option does return its Boolean default value.
