Re: [css-selectors] descentant up to a certain depth

Ok, that reduces the duplication a bit, but still requires elem1 and elem2
to be named explicitly twice. Which is not convenient when elem1 and elem2
are complex selectors.

I was thinking of the possibility to pass parameters to the descendant
combinator.
For example:

elem1 >(3)> elem2  /*descendants up to third level*/
elem1 >(2,5)> elem2  /*descendants from second to fifth level*/
elem1 >(1)> elem2  /*same as child combinator*/

How do you like it?
