Yes a text() branch injecting whatever from the user and letting the developer 
customise what needs to be searched makes sense to me.
We can explore that but I am a bit skeptical that it will turn into a true 
`text()` clause rather than be a bit more friendly in other branches of the DSL.
I’m happy to be proven wrong. But I am a bit confused and would love some code 
example to start from (as in doing what is required).
