 * A utility function for userscripts that detects and handles AJAXed content.
 *
 * @example
 * waitForKeyElements("div.comments", (element) => {
 *   element.innerHTML = "This text inserted by waitForKeyElements().";
 * });
 *
 * waitForKeyElements(() => {
 *   const iframe = document.querySelector('iframe');
 *   if (iframe) {
 *     const iframeDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
 *     return iframeDoc.querySelectorAll("div.comments");
 *   }
 *   return null;
 * }, callbackFunc);
 *
 * @param {(string|function)} selectorOrFunction - The selector string or function.
 * @param {function}          callback           - The callback function; takes a single DOM element as parameter.
 *                                                 If returns true, element will be processed again on subsequent iterations.
 * @param {boolean}           [waitOnce=true]    - Whether to stop after the first elements are found.
 * @param {number}            [interval=300]     - The time (ms) to wait between iterations.
 * @param {number}            [maxIntervals=-1]  - The max number of intervals to run (negative number for unlimited).
