I think your example selector might actually be valid, but attempting to match an invalid element with type `__element`. Equivalent to `__element.block`. 😆 

> The nesting selector is allowed anywhere in a compound selector, even before a type selector, violating the normal restrictions on ordering within a compound selector. [...] An ampersand is unambiguously separable from an ident, tho, so there is no problem with it preceding a type selector, like &div. - https://drafts.csswg.org/css-nesting-1/#nest-selector
