* Combinator-rooted Queries
I read about some prior discussion concerning this (especially in
relation to DOMElement.querySelectorAll-style queries). This is an
important part of most libraries, as it stands. Maciej's proposed
solution of using :root to allow for front-leading combinators is
perfectly acceptable to me (where :root is made equivalent to the
element, not the document element).
My most recent suggestion was to introduce a :scope pseudo-class for
this instead of :root. I think this could also be used to do element
scoped queries that work the way current JS libraries do: ":scope div
> span" would find only a span child of a div that is somewhere in
the current scope.
