I Prefer using the definition
select=: 1 : 'u # ]'
instead of your hook below.
I find it much easier crafting compound conditions (for example >4 and <8)
4&< select some_numbers
5 7 9
(8&> *. 4&<) select some_numbers
5 7
seeing a select statement in a sentence also helps me realize what its doing in
a way that # wouldn't because it is more vague, and its position in a train is
less recognizable. Also, 4 verb trains make this way to filter a bit daunting
on beginers, I think the adverb version is just much easier.
