An extension dedicated to simplifying the fetch( content, list ) chore

Planning stage, discussion happening so far at http://share.ez.no/forums/discussions/little-nemo-in-slumbercode-part-1-can-jquery-meet-the-ez-template-languag

Usecases

q('#2').name => node name
q('#2').children|count => number of children
q('.article').0 => first node in the set
q('.article :eq(0)') => first node in the set, but smarter than the above

Formal syntax for the selector

DONE:

TO BE DONE:

• #n select node n
• [name="value"] select where attribute 'name' has value 'value'
• [name|="value"], [name*="value"], [name$="value"], [name!="value"]
• .class
• ' > ' direct child of
• :empty node with no children
• :eq(), :lt(), :gt() used for pagination (when fetching a set)
• ['name'] has an attribute named "name"
• :hidden / :visible
• [attributeFilter1][attributeFilter2][attributeFilterN] (AND them together)
• " , , " multiple selector (implemented via many queries)
• :parent
