Ok, so maybe removing step 5 from my suggested steps would work then.
Alternatively keeping them and saying that if you have a :scope in
your selector then we won't prepend one, and thus the above selector
wouldn't be valid selector syntax and thus should throw.
Either way seems like an ok solution.
The concern I have about always prepending :scope if the selector
starts with ">", even if :scope appears in the selector, is that it
creates different rules for the ">" combinator vs. the " " combinator.
