Re: Select and how to read the api

Because programs must share a large namespace in memory, and a larger one in 
our brains. 'select' is already used by Array, certain network sockets, and 
(in some languages) a keyword. Primitive things should have primeval names, 
such as 'select', and complex & specific things should have decorated names. 
If all the other Rails HTML generators end in _tag, then select_ should too!
