Another potential hint is element class/type/instanceof. I can see a
situation where I'd want to "select" any element that is an `instanceof`
HTMLButtonElement. Or if a third-party library creates an element that
"selects" <ui-dropdown>, it may want to allow the selection of subclasses
of that element but not other arbitrary elements.
