Unification of an element selector is somewhat complicated, especially when a namespace is specified. First, if `sel` contains another {Element} with a different \{name}, then the selectors can‘t be unified and `nil` is returned.

Otherwise, if `sel` doesn‘t specify a namespace, or it specifies any namespace (via `"*"`), then it‘s returned with this element selector (e.g. `.foo` becomes `a.foo` or `svg|a.foo`). Similarly, if this selector doesn‘t specify a namespace, the namespace from `sel` is used.

If both this selector and `sel` specify namespaces, those namespaces are unified via {Simple#unify_namespaces} and the unified namespace is used, if possible.

@todo There are lots of cases that this documentation specifies;

  make sure we thoroughly test **all of them**.

@todo Keep track of whether a default namespace has been declared

  and handle namespace-unspecified selectors accordingly.
