Well, for constructs with an open/close character, not always, e.g.:

    /* comment */
    <tag attr="value">
    "quoted string"

But there are (dis)advantages with both. See my longer comments (and  
reasoning) here:

A pseudo-selector might be a good solution. It does currently clash a  
bit with the canonical notion of a scope, e.g. there is a TM_SCOPE  
variable which gives the current scope, which will not alone be  
enough to decide a match then, if such pseudo selector was introduced.

But I will give it some thoughts.
