#24 [select] doesn't always work with symbol selector

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

a [select] without a creation argument cannot use a
symbol selector. A float will work fine on the right
inlet, but a symbol will not.

Also, a [select] with a symbol argument won't take a
float on the right inlet, and vice-versa.

i always considered this "well defined behaviour" of
[select] and not a bug.

it reacts similar to [route], but this should be documented
in the reference-patch

[Jonathan Wilkes]

I already changed [select] in pd-l2ork so you can mix symbol and float args together. I suppose I could also make the right inlet a proxy inlet so it can also take a float or symbol message, which is way more useful since people seem to rarely mix float and symbol args in [select] anyway.

both are useful, and would be great patches to submit.
