Why would you be testing that? What's the use case?
The way I see this working in practice is something like this:
var elements;
try {
elements = document.querySelectorAll("something");
} catch (e) {
// Use a slower implementation of the "something" selector
}
This is certainly how I expect JS libraries to use querySelectorAll...
In what cases would you want to check whether a selector is parsed but _not_
actually try matching against it?
