One of the difficulties here is the semantics of parent selection; you basically need the inverse of the select and selectAll methods. For example, if you select-all a bunch of siblings, and you want to select the parent, you probably just want to select that parent once. On the other hand, if you select-all a bunch of divs, then sub-select a child paragraph for each, when selecting the parent you probably want all the parent divs.

I suppose a general solution would be to detect when the parent nodes are the same, and then coalesce, but the grouping of the nodes is important, too. Should selecting the parent (or the parents) return one group or many? Maybe selectParent and selectParents?

Also, if you allow xpath expressions for selection, this problem is simpler because then you can use the existing select methods.

In 2.0.0, you can pass arbitrary functions to select and selectAll. That's good enough for now.

Looks like it's undocumented that we can pass arbitrary function to select and selectAll.
