- `selector` (String): The selector.
- `convert` (Function): An optional function to change the value.
- `how` (Function|String): A function or function name to access the
value.
- `attr` (String): If provided, the value will be taken based on
the attribute name.
- `trim` (Boolean): If `false`, the value will *not* be trimmed
(default: `true`).
- `closest` (String): If provided, returns the first ancestor of
the given element.
- `eq` (Number): If provided, it will select the *nth* element.
- `texteq` (Number): If provided, it will select the *nth* direct text child.

- `listItem` (Object): An object, keeping the recursive schema of
the `listItem` object. This can be used to create nested lists.
