Comment:

 According to http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/, there are certain
 characters that need to be escaped in the selector:

 {{{
 !"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~
 }}}

 And according to http://api.jquery.com/attribute-equals-selector/,
 attribute equals selectors must always be quoted:

 {{{
 // wrong:
 [attr=value]
 // right:
 [attr="value"]
 }}}

 Also, {{{.children()}}} does some special stuff that breaks when you have
 escaped characters in your selector, so all {{{.children()}}} calls were
 replaced with {{{.find()}}} calls.

 My patch should address these issues.
