/*
        acme architectural overview:

                acme is a relatively full-featured CSS3 query library. It is
                designed to take any valid CSS3 selector and return the nodes matching
                the selector. To do this quickly, it processes queries in several
                steps, applying caching where profitable.

                The steps (roughly in reverse order of the way they appear in the code):
                        1.) check to see if we already have a "query dispatcher"
                                - if so, use that with the given parameterization. Skip to step 4.
                        2.) attempt to determine which branch to dispatch the query to:
                                - JS (optimized DOM iteration)
                                - native (FF3.1+, Safari 3.1+, IE 8+)
                        3.) tokenize and convert to executable "query dispatcher"
                                - this is where the lion's share of the complexity in the
                                        system lies. In the DOM version, the query dispatcher is
                                        assembled as a chain of "yes/no" test functions pertaining to
                                        a section of a simple query statement (".blah:nth-child(odd)"
                                        but not "div div", which is 2 simple statements). Individual
                                        statement dispatchers are cached (to prevent re-definition)
                                        as are entire dispatch chains (to make re-execution of the
                                        same query fast)
                        4.) the resulting query dispatcher is called in the passed scope
                                        (by default the top-level document)
                                - for DOM queries, this results in a recursive, top-down
                                        evaluation of nodes based on each simple query section
                                - for native implementations, this may mean working around spec
                                        bugs. So be it.
                        5.) matched nodes are pruned to ensure they are unique (if necessary)

        //        prone to unbounded growth). Other toolkits may go this route, but
        //        they totally destroy their own ability to manage their memory
        //        footprint. If we implement it, it should only ever be with a fixed
        //        total element reference # limit and an LRU-style algorithm since JS
        //        has no weakref support. Caching compiled query evaluators is also
        //        potentially problematic, but even on large documents the size of the
        //        query evaluators is often < 100 function objects per evaluator (and
        //        LRU can be applied if it's ever shown to be an issue).
        //      * since IE's QSA support is currently only for HTML documents and even
        //        then only in IE 8's "standards mode", we have to detect our dispatch
        //        route at query time and keep 2 separate caches. Ugg.

                //
                //                      * class selectors (e.g., `.foo`)

                //                      * `#foo` style ID selectors
                //                      * `*` universal selector
                //                      * `~`, the preceded-by sibling selector
                //                      * `+`, the immediately preceded-by sibling selector
                //                      * attribute queries:
                //                      |       * `[foo]` attribute presence selector
                //                      |       * `[foo='bar']` attribute value exact match
                //                      |       * `[foo~='bar']` attribute value list item match
                //                      |       * `[foo^='bar']` attribute start match

                //                      |       * `[foo*='bar']` attribute substring match
                //                      * `:first-child`, `:last-child`, and `:only-child` positional selectors
                //                      * `:empty` content emtpy selector
                //                      * `:checked` pseudo selector
                //                      * `:nth-child(n)`, `:nth-child(2n+1)` style positional calculations
                //                      * `:nth-child(even)`, `:nth-child(odd)` positional selectors

                //              Any legal combination of these selectors will work with

                //              Very complex and useful searches can be constructed with this
                //              palette of selectors and when combined with functions for

                //              While dojo.query handles many CSS3 selectors, some fall outside of

                //              handle. Currently unsupported selectors include:

                //                      * certain pseduo-selectors which don't get a lot of day-to-day use:
                //                      |       * `:root`, `:lang()`, `:target`, `:focus`
                //                      * all visual and state selectors:
                //                      |       * `:root`, `:active`, `:hover`, `:visisted`, `:link`,

                //                      * `:*-of-type` pseudo selectors

                //              dojo.query and XML Documents:
                //              -----------------------------
                //
                //              `dojo.query` (as of dojo 1.2) supports searching XML documents
                //              in a case-sensitive manner. If an HTML document is served with
                //              a doctype that forces case-sensitivity (e.g., XHTML 1.1
                //              Strict), dojo.query() will detect this and "do the right
                //              thing". Case sensitivity is dependent upon the document being
                //              searched and not the query used. It is therefore possible to
                //              use case-sensitive queries on strict sub-documents (iframes,
                //              etc.) or XML documents while still assuming case-insensitivity
                //              for a host/root document.
                //
                //              Non-selector Queries:
                //              ---------------------
                //
                //              If something other than a String is passed for the query,
                //              `dojo.query` will return a new `dojo.NodeList` instance
                //              constructed from that parameter alone and all further
                //              processing will stop. This means that if you have a reference
                //              to a node or NodeList, you can quickly construct a new NodeList
                //              from the original by calling `dojo.query(node)` or
                //              `dojo.query(list)`.
