Can a scope be set for jquery.ajaxSetup()?

Question

I'm working on something with a ton of ajax calls, most of which have the same parameters. I'm considering using jquery.ajaxSetup() to cut down on the code.

However, jQuery doesn't like it's API for this. It says:

Note: The settings specified here will affect all calls to $.ajax or AJAX-based 
derivatives such as $.get(). This can cause undesirable behavior since other callers (for 
example, plugins) may be expecting the normal default settings. For that reason we
strongly recommend against using this API. Instead, set the options explicitly in the call
or define a simple plugin to do so.

Is there a way to implement this so it doesn't touch every js file, including plugins? I'm not using an external jQuery plugins that work with ajax right now, but I want to future-proof this for future developers if possible. Is it possible jQuery will drop this from it's API?

How about wrapper the ajax() call with code like this:

var sendAjax = function (options) {
    var type = 'GET';
    var dataType = 'json';
    var success = options.onsuccess || function () {};
    var error = options.onerror || function () {};
    var url = options.url;
    var data = options.data;
    $.ajax({
        type: type,
        url: url,
        data: data,
        dataType: dataType ,
        success: success ,
        error: error
    });
};

Then replace your ajax call to sendAjax();
