I was considering something like this to be used in manipulations of parse trees.

I've tried investigating such things, mostly for LDT (Eclipse's Lua plugin), but I didn't end up with anything practical. However, creating a small DSL based chained invocations, _a la_ JQuery, gave much more expressive results.

There's a preview of the resulting API here [http://metalua.blogspot.fr/2011/10/treequery-dsl-for-syntax-tree.html]; providing a comprehensive doc is somewhere deep down in my todo-list :(
