Subject of the issue

Retrieving collections doesn't work as described in docs

Your environment

version of node: 8.5
version of npm: yarn 1.0.2

reproduction here: https://runkit.com/marzelin/x-ray-bug

given this example:

const x = require("x-ray")()
const html = `
<body>
    <ul>
      <li>1-1</li>
      <li>1-2</li>
      <li>1-3</li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
      <li>2-1</li>
      <li>2-2</li>
      <li>2-3</li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
      <li>3-1</li>
      <li>3-2</li>
      <li>3-3</li>
    </ul>
</body>`

x(html, "body", x("ul", ["li"]))((err, result) => {
    console.log(result)
})

per docs x('ul', ['li']) should select all items in the first list but it selects all items in all lists.
Also, per docs x(['ul'], ['li']) should return all items in all lists, but it returns nothing.
