@DouglasDaseeco arguably function declarations are *statements*. But I agree there are edge cases to take into account (only '[type*=javascript]', not defer|async|empty and probably some others. But the real question here is why do one need to know that ? – Kaiido Jul 30 '17 at 07:18

Then it doesn't need to be programmatic. You can read the source code. – Kaiido Jul 30 '17 at 11:38
