Support Namespaced Selectors (level 3)

[jiggliemon]

Slick doesn't support CSS3 namespace selectors:

Slick.find('ns|a') // [<ns:a></ns:a>]

The workaround is to use an escaped colon. That should work in all browsers. Iirc we should have some specs for this in the SlickSpec already.

The one problem I see is that the standard "select all" selector doesn't work using the :;
None of these work:
`Slick.find('ns|')`Slick.find('ns\:*') Slick.find('ns\\:*')

good point. You could implement that with a custom pseudoclass though. e.g. Slick.search(document, '*:ns(foo)')

Not ideal, obviously, but it would work.

The implementation of the custom pseudo could be something like function(ns){ return this.nodeName.split(':')[0] == ns }. There may be a faster way to do it, but that should work.
