/**
 * The `$$` command is a short and handy way in order to fetch multiple elements on the page.
 * It returns a `ChainablePromiseArray` containing a set of WebdriverIO elements.
 *
 * Using the wdio testrunner this command is a global variable, see [Globals](https://webdriver.io/docs/api/globals)
 * for more information. Using WebdriverIO within a [standalone](https://webdriver.io/docs/setuptypes#standalone-mode)
 * script it will be located on the browser object instead (e.g. `browser.$$`).
 *
 * You can chain `$` or `$$` together without wrapping individual commands into `await` in order
 * to walk down the DOM tree, e.g.:
 *
 * ```js
 * const imageSrc = await $$('div')[1].nextElement().$$('img')[2].getAttribute('src')
 * ```
 *
 * It is also possible to use async iterators to loop over the result of the query, e.g.:
 *
 * ```js
 * // print all image sources
 * for await (const img of $$('img')) {
 *   console.log(await img.getAttribute('src'))
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * ### Iterating over elements
 *
 * The result of `$$` also provides asynchronous versions of the `Array` iteration methods `forEach`, `map`,
 * `find`, `findIndex`, `some`, `every`, `filter` and `reduce`. They accept `async` callbacks and can be
 * called on `$$` directly:
 *
 * ```js
 * const texts = await $$('h3').map((h3) => h3.getText())
 * ```
 *
 * Every method except `reduce` also has a `*Series` variant (`forEachSeries`, `mapSeries`, and so on).
 * The base method runs all callbacks **concurrently**, while the `*Series` variant runs **one callback at a
 * time**, in list order. `reduce` always runs one callback at a time. Use a `*Series` variant when the order
 * of your interactions with the page matters.
 *
 * The concurrent `find` and `findIndex` resolve with the first match to finish, which is not necessarily the
 * earliest match in the list, and the concurrent `find`, `findIndex`, `some` and `every` keep running the
 * remaining callbacks after the result is known. Use the `*Series` variant to get the earliest match and
 * stop there.
