To me, something like your syntax makes sense when there isn't a clear hierarchy among selectorPart1, selectorPart2, selectorPart3, etc. However, in every case where a method can be thought of as having a single primary action that is

Looks like the pieces are reversible, so the two L's and two S's are actually L, J, S, and Z.
