Certainly. That's more elegant than my collate. I normally waste half an
hour with the input streams of predselect reversed ;-)  And if you want
your stage to be a proper selection stage (with the complement to the
secondary output) then make sure to connect all 3 inputs of predselect.

There's a few examples with predselect here

make it easier to understand. I think this one is pretty neat:
