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
;)
