Yes, worse, I was just doing getElementsByTagName("*") for my proof of concept. Your query is much better! But even that might be scanning the full document.

With that suggestion I can probably do the following:

    getElementById         => querySelectorAll("[id]")
    getElementsByClassName => querySelectorAll("[class]")
    getElementsByName      => querySelectorAll("[name]")
    getElementsByTagName   => getElementsByTagName("*") + filter?
    querySelector[All]     => something fancy, like a mix of the above, #id, .class, tagName

I might take a look at:

  - getElementsByTagNameNS => same as above but with namespaces?
  - createElement[NS]      => valid html types, namespaces?
  - createEvent            => valid event types
  - maybe $ and $$         => getElementById && querySelectorAll
  - addEventListener       => event types? functions?
  - removeEventListener    => event types? functions?

Knowing the function you're writing into can be kind of
useful. You can decide only to return objects of a
particular type. So for the 2nd argument of addEventListener
you would want either functions, or object's with a
"handleEvent" property. Thats going a bit overkill
though.

By the way, a did do a quick balanced parenthesis check
so the following will at least let you know that the
function is "getElementById". I haven't played around
with what I want to do in this case.

  document.getElementById( func() + |
