public class QuasiElement

extends QuasiContent

Untamed: Represents an Element in a quasi-literal XML tree.

A Minimal-XML Element has only a tagName and children. The children are a list of Nodes, which we define as a ContentList, which we define as a kind of Content (see the QuasiContent class comment). Therefore, since the same QuasiElement must match against Elements with different numbers of children, we use a QuasiContent to represent the children of a QuasiElement.

The tagName is either all hole or all literal. If it's literal, it must be a well formed tagName identifier String (not checked). If it's a hole, the corresponding arg or specimen must be such an identifier.
