My only concern here is that we avoid the mistake that was made with
getElementsByTagName and getElementById -- the names should be easy to
type and short. I honestly think that if the one-item method is shorter
than about 6 or 7 characters, then we've made a mistake.

You mean longer than?


So I think "matchSelector" is too long. I think "matchSingle" is too long. I think "select" and "match" are fine.

I'd love to use "select"...


It doesn't matter what the words actually are. I think "aaaaa" is fine
too (though it wouldn't be my first choice). As Maciej points out, we just have to make sure we don't pick a name that makes everyone just alias the
method to $ or $$ or something equivalent.

Yeah, I agree with this.
