Why doesn't [select 1 2 3 4] have 5 inlets and 5 outlets?
Wouldn't break old patches, but could be useful in some circumstances.
Maybe it would make more sense if [select] accepted messages like [set 5 4 3 2( on its single inlet and rejected lists. [select]'s current method for list handling is just pd's default behaviour when an object has no list method of its own.
I disagree: multiple inlets allow different parts to be set independently, and pd's default behaviour is common among many objects, which makes it easier to learn once.
