Re: [whatwg/dom] Option to allow `querySelector` to query shadow roots (Issue #1422)

jonathanKingston left a comment (whatwg/dom#1422)

This seems really well thought out and certainly solves an annoying problem.


---

The one caveat here that the snippet doesn't solve is selectors that cross the boundaries; I think that's very intentional. My guess is the CSS selectors would assist with this optionality in future:
```js
document.querySelectorAll('div button, div :host button', {
  shadowRoots: true
})
```
Or:
```js
document.querySelectorAll('div button, div :host button', {
  shadowRoots: {
    open: true,
    selectAcrossRoots: true
  }
})
```
In short: I think this is a non issue to solve as part of this proposal.
