	/**
	 * Check for an opportunity to skip the more-costly selector splitting.
	 * This should be possible if there are no comments, strings, functions,
	 * URLs, escapes, or comment declaration openers (CDOs).
	 *
	 * Note that this means the fast-path will not apply for selectors like
	 * the following incomplete list:
	 *
	 *  - `[class ~= "wide"]`
	 *  - `.wp-block:is(.is-style-a, .is-style-b)`
	 *  - `:nth-child(1)`
	 *
	 * These syntax forms all present opportunities where a comma may not
	 * separate selectors. If none of the start characters are present,
	 * there should be no way for a comma to mean anything other than a
	 * comma token. The exception are syntax errors, which are not handled here.
	 *
	 * @see https://www.w3.org/TR/css-syntax-3/#parse-comma-separated-list-of-component-values
