# matchesSelector helper

[`matches`/`matchesSelector`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/matches) is pretty hot :fire:, but has [vendor-prefix baggage](http://caniuse.com/#feat=matchesselector) :handbag: :pouch:. This helper function takes care of that, without polyfilling or augmenting `Element.prototype`.

``` js
matchesSelector( elem, selector );
// for example
matchesSelector( myElem, 'div.my-hawt-selector' );
```
