[L2Ork-dev] Getting ready for GSoC coding to begin

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

So, I just tested the 2.11 and my findings regarding the changes in the 
select object are that this is worse than the previous implementation 
because now the select outputs cryptic error that no beginner will 
understand. Even for advanced users it provides misleading info as the 
select object treats bang message as a list (which it is not). Try the 
attached patch.

I recommend that we reinstate the original select behavior and on top of 
that ensure that both the bang and symbol bang are treated as one and 
the same. I understand this kind of patch is not going to be common or 
useful, yet one cannot predict architectural choices a beginner may make 
(for better or for worse) and I am of the opinion that we should do all 
we can (without breaking the core purr-data behavior) to make things as 
easy as possible.

Best,

Ico
