An alternate method of doing similar selector-based tricks from a shell,
using node.js & the cheerio module:

Note: this currently requires node.js unstable; the next stable release is
due out soon though. =)

Also, syntax highlighting in the output would likely need to be added,
perhaps using the ansi module (or similar):
