Remove positional selectors

[mgol]

Description

To be able to reduce selector code size drastically, we should remove custom traversing code from the selector module. That requires dropping positional selectors, though.

Originally reported at jquery/sizzle#293, see the discussion there.

Hi there, has this change been released to the latest production version of JQuery yet ? or when do you plan on doing so ?

I am just wondering if/when I would need to accommodate these changes in our project ?
Many thanks

@fsereno the issue is open which means it’s not done yet. The milestone is set to 4.0.0 so this is when we plan to land the change.
