.closest() doesn't work with > selector

Description

Test case is here: http://jsfiddle.net/77Qm9/

Not sure what correct behaviour should be? Maybe ignore the > completely, i.e treat ">selector" as "selector", rather than returning empty jQuery

Or thinking about it more, the use case I have woudl involve treating the context as the top-level parent, so that

$(sel1).closest(>sel2,context)

returns the child of context that matches sel2 and contains sel1

After reading the specification, I've submitted a new ticket http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8384 which is more general... so this one can be closed if you like
