It would be called Selectors, not Selector, as it represents a group
of selectors (as always with selectors). It would be opaque as to
allow for optimizations to the data model over time. And it would have
a test method that takes an element and returns either true or false
as to whether it's a match for that node given node's root (defined in
DOM).

We could add more methods in the future if the above first step works
out. E.g. selectors.match(tree) -> Elements object and such.
