Problem with Selector using

Description

It's wonderful soluton with 'selector' property. But it doesn't work fully:

It works:

var selector = $('*').find('div').selector; returns '* div'

$(selector); returns correct set

Doesn't work:

var selector = $('*').find('div').parent('body').selector; returns '* div.parent(body)'

$(selector); returns empty set

I think $($any_set.selector) should work. It's very good idea in my opinion.

I think
$($any_set.selector)
should work.

If the set was created using arbitrary filter function code I don't think this is achievable.

is not guaranteed to be a string that can be used to recreate the original filter set.
