Sometimes I want to use XQuery in the web console for pages that don't use XQuery. Does anybody know how to dynamically include XQuery on loaded pages to use with the web console?

Well, I know you can inject jQuery into any web page using the “jQuerify” button in FireQuery (http://firequery.binaryage.com/). But I’ve never even heard of XQuery before now. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XQuery, it seems to be a standard language, rather than a JavaScript library. What library do you use? http://www.xqib.org/ ?

You can use $x('//some/xpath') for testing XPath's which can be very useful, but not sure about XQuery, never even heard about it being used before.
