Side-track, but if we remove the "pseudo-elements must be at the end
of the selector" restriction, we've *really* got to change that
combinator.
Because that's what the :: is - it's a combinator like >, just
selecting into the pseudo-tree hanging off the preceding element
rather than children/siblings. The fact that it doesn't *look* like a
combinator is problematic. It makes it harder to do pretty
formatting, you can't use other types of simple selectors in
conjunction with it, etc.
