getElementBySelector/getElementsBySelector
match/matchAll
matchSelector/matchAllSelectors
I find match and matchAll to be unacceptable. In terms of genericity,
usefulness, and actual deployed usage CSS comes third behind regular
expressions and XPath, both of which come to mind before CSS does.
Beyond that I don't have a strong opinion but I find matchSelector/
matchAllSelectors to be better due to being shorter (and not having a
zillion casing toggles like the gEBS).
If you want a name that matches usage and the reality of what us
developers will understand intuitively, I would recommend matchCSS.
It's short, it's obvious, and it says exactly what it does.
