It's annoying if querying engines have to work with two different query methods (.findAll and .querySelectorAll) and know when to call which. So I don't think 1 is a particularly good point. However 3 is a very good point. If there aren't use cases, then we shouldn't support it. And 2 is a good indicator that there aren't use cases. But if someone knows of use cases then I'm all ears. It's also something that can be added at a later point if use cases arise. / Jonas
