Breaking compilations are as bad.
So, does your example actually work in practice and not only
in theory, too? My select stuff should have worked in theory, too.
But it broke, for whatever reasons on whatever weird setups.

We somehow are in an endless loop here:

loop:
	implement it with select
	people complain select it bad and suggest to implement it with depends on
	implement it with depends on
	either
		users don't find it anymore
		users complain
	or
		it needs way to tell the user what to select first
		developers complain
	goto loop

;)
