[Bug 10555] Pattern matching proposal for XQuery

I sympathize with Mike's perspective, but there are other nice properties of
XSLT patterns that generic boolean predicates don't have. For instance, a
common optimization for XSLT implementations is to rule out patterns that don't
match a given node type early on, so that less patterns need to be matched.
This ability derives from the fact that patterns match nodes using a specific
declarative syntax.
