However, the Dictionary merely says "The case [email protected] uses the result of the
verb v to perform the selection."  which could be interpreted as [email protected] just
being a variant of [email protected] where the result of the verb v is used to perform
the selection.  I asked, a long time ago, the question,

[Jprogramming] Wrong agenda?  Jose Mario Quintana

Roger provided some background information,

[Jprogramming] Wrong agenda?  Roger Hui
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2009-November/016938.html

I then suggested to update the Dictionary or extend the implementation; he
seemed to be inclined to extend the implementation,

[Jprogramming] Wrong agenda?  Roger Hui
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2009-November/016941.html

but neither the dictionary was changed nor the implementation was extended.
