Set up getEl and getEls as helper functions for all javascript expressions & run-type commands #277

These helper functions should be there, as it would allow the ACSS special selectors to kick-in for things that the native querySelector can't handle yet, and tie into the ACSS scoped component rules for elements.

These can also be used in variable assignment alongside the new dollar variable syntax, which would give a handy way of fetching a DOM element or it's properties.

As an aside, the new dollar variable syntax on the latest branch makes it a lot easier to use variables, and a lot of testing and config development is occurring with these in different scenarios on different projects. All good so far.

If anyone has a question on how to use variables in a specific scenario, or is unclear of the rules, let me know and I'll pin the answer prior to the next release going live, which will be in a couple of months.

Closing - not convinced this is the best way to do it syntactically at the moment. Need a use case.
