Add generalized repetition about scalpel HOT 3 CLOSED

How would matchAll work if you passed different selectors to html and attr?

It seems like it may not make sense with different selectors and that you would need something with a type like :: Selectable s => (s -> Scraper str a) -> (s -> Scraper str b) -> s -> Scraper s [(a, b)] so that you can ensure that you are selecting on the same elements. Of course this doesn't generalize as nicely :/

Another, though less intuitive option, is to abuse chroots and Any:

chroots "a" $ do
    x <- attr "title" Any
    guard (somePredicate x)
    html Any

How would matchAll work if you passed different selectors to html and attr?

Presumably, it would return the empty list, since no single element has both selectors.

I hadn't thought of the chroots trick; I think it should be added to the chroots documentation, and that may be enough.

Closing out for now, if you feel like the current documentation isn't extensive or visible enough please reopen.
