If I have a grid composed of row and cell div element as follows:

<div class="grid">
   <div class="row">
       <div class="cell"/>
       <div class="cell"/>
       <div class="cell"/>
   </div>
   <div class="row">
       <div class="cell"/>
       <div class="cell"/>
       <div class="cell"/>
   </div>
    <div class="row">
       <div class="cell"/>
       <div class="cell"/>
       <div class="cell"/>
   </div>
</div>

Assuming I have a 'grid' variable pointing to the top grid div, and  I want
to return all the cells in the first 'column'. I would expect something like
the following to work:

$("> div > div:eq(0)", grid).

Actually, this doesn't work. it returns only the very first (top-left) cell.
To get what I want I need to do something like:

$("> div:eq(0)",$("> div", grid))

I suppose that operator precedence is applying the eq(0) in the first
statement to the entire selection AFTER both children operators, but this is
counter-intuitive as the :eq(0) implies that it is applied specifically to
the second '>div' selector
