No.  You just have recognize certain syntax elements
in a predicate.  For example, any descendant axis
use in a predicate will destroy streaming with caching.

If you use "selections" via XPath, then only
"//div" will match all divs.

If you use match patterns, then both "//div" and
"div" will match.
