Had Gemini take a stab at this. I think it will make the implementation more readable (especially for those used to XPath a la {lintr}); I was hoping there might be some performance improvement too.

Alas, the {data.table} implementation dominates on performance. I think LLMs solve the problem of readability/maintainability so I'll give the edge to performance.

Nevertheless, filing this here for interested readers / posterity before closing & deleting.
