+	// Query syntax:
+	// 	a		- tag
+	// 	a/b		- path, defines a directional relation between a and b
+	// 	a:b		- set, defines a non-directional relation between a and b
+	// 	*		- tag placeholder, matches one and only one tag name
+	//
+	// NOTE: a tag is also a singular path and a singular set.
+	// NOTE: paths have priority over sets: a/b:c -> a / b:c
+	//
+	//
+	// Two paths match iff:
+	// 	- all of the components of the first are contained in the second and
+	// 	- component order is maintained.
+	//
+	// Example:
+	// 		set			match		no match
+	// 		--------------------------------
+	// 		a			a			z
+	// 					a/b			b/c
+	// 					x/a/y		...
+	// 					x/a
