This is entirely out of the question for 8.3, as it's a significant
change of behaviour.
I'd also want to see this usage blessed by some xpath guru ... I'm not
sure it meets the standard's requirements, but I could be wrong.
And it seems to me much better to provide the facility as a separate
function e.g. xpath_fragment() (if at all) rather than by adding on a
non-standard xpath function, but that's just a first impression.
Nice piece of work, though.
