Inconsistent naming for pseudo-classes that act as functions

[connorshea]

I'm not sure if there's a better name for "pseudo-classes that act as functions"?

Essentially what I mean are pseudo-classes like :dir(), :lang(), etc.

This is a list of function selectors with weird/incorrect names in selectors.json:

• :any: This is weird because it only has syntax specifically for the -webkit-/-moz- vendor prefixed versions. Also, it should be a function like :any().
• :dir: Should be :dir().
• :lang: Should be :lang().
• :not: Should be :not().
• :nth-child: Should be :nth-child().
• :nth-last-child: Should be :nth-last-child().
• :nth-last-of-type: Should be :nth-last-of-type().
• :nth-of-type: Should be :nth-of-type().

Oddly, :host() and :host-context() are fine in this regard.

The logic that any selectors with () should have () included in their name is that there are selectors like :host as well as :host(), so you can't just take off the () or those two would conflict.
