BS turns attribute getting into an alias for find

dom.a.b # == dom.find('a').find('b')

Soupy doesn't do this yet. The terseness is nice, but it has a few downsides:

It's another syntax for doing the same thing
You still need find for its extra args/kwargs support
It's possible that the name of a tag collides with another soupy method name, which will trip you up.

A few libraries do this (numpy recarrays, pandas), and I always have mixed feelings about it.
