Selector Mappings

[Colin Clark]

Hey Steve,

Yep, it's definitely something we're planning to address. We've also  
noticed that writing selector cutpoints for the Renderer is a source  
of common code repetition, so we've got a few ideas on the table. The  
first plan is to harmonize the creation of cutpoints arrays with the  
names and selectors that are already a part of every component's DOM  
Binder.

In the case of Pager, this is entirely your markup rather than the  
component's, so a DOM Binder probably isn't available to us. Given  
this, I think your idea of a default mapping scheme, converting IDs to  
selectors, makes a lot of sense. Off the top of my head, we could do  
something simple like take an array of IDs and have it assume class- 
based selectors: drop off any colons, add a dot in front, and you're  
good to go. Is that something along the lines of what you were thinking?
