Does the jQuery $.ajaxSetup method not respect the data field in the options hash when $.post or $.get is called?

For example, I might have this code:

$.ajaxSetup({ data: { persist: true } });

Then, to send a POST request, I would call this:

$.post("/create/something", { name: "foo" });

I was expecting the actual POST data to look like this:

{
  persist: true,
  name: "foo"
}

but the only data sent by $.post is { name: "foo" }. Is there any way to get the expected behavior? I'm using jQuery 1.4.1.
