Well, the most obvious method name would be "document.select()". It's
clear what it does given the context, and fits in well with the similar
existing functionality, "document.all". Would "select()" be ok with you?
I don't think that "document.select()" is clear at all. My first
though would be, it is a method to select everything on the web page.
I think "document.getElementsBySelector()" is much more clearer. Also,
it is much more consistent with "document.getElementsByTagName()" and
"document.getElementById()" for instance.
