I was thinking about a way of making it possible to be less depended on 
specific checks. The reason for this is that although jquery may seem a 
bit slower it might be good enough for some (non Plone) applications. If 
these applications already use jquery for something else they should not 
have to drag in base2 just to use KSS.

The way I propose to handle this is to make a namespace for utility 
functions like CSS selectors. We could also put handy functions like 
forEach etc. in there (which in most cases would just be aliases to the 
functions from base2 / jquery etc.).

If we implement it like this you would just need to toggle which 
javascript file is loaded (using the plugin system).
