jQuery equivalent of querySelector

So it seems that there is no equivalent of querySelector in jQuery, or in other libraries I’ve looked at.

The workaround is to select all matching elements (equivalent to querySelectorAll) then filter out the first one. This can be done using [0] (returns a html node) or as suggested by @Mutnowski with eq(0) or first (returning a jQuery object).
