Since selectors L4 is being worked on now, I would like to beg once again
that it be :has().  Greg can verify, but I bet he would not have made that
mistake if it were written:

.panel:has(> header > .btn)

Fantasai, I know you have been throwing this particular use case
(combinator) out since like 2000 wrt :has vs single character, but it
really does seem easily grokable and has been proposed by so many people
(not just list people, members too)... it works in jquery and in my own
hitchjs that way and maybe yehuda can speak for jquery which is way more
popular, but I have never heard a peep about that from users.

Pleeeeeaassseee :)
