True. Of those, I would much prefer matchSelector()... which is, for me
at least, easier to type and less ambiguous.
Not that this is at all evidential, but querySelector sounds like you're
asking the selector a question ("Hi, Selector, how's your day?"), while
selectElement and matchSelector sound like commands ("Selector, go get
me some elements!").
I still much prefer selectElement*(), fwiw.
