    The chi squared test result should be the same no matter which type of 
selection you do, yes. I agree it's desirable to avoid computing it many times 
if one wanted to perform many variations on chi squared selection, but is that 
a common use case?
    
    Still, I can also imagine going back to the idea of only finding the 
chi-squared values in the selector, and letting the model instance be 
parameterized. So its behavior as a transformer would be modified by setting 
parameters on it. I'm OK with that, I just thought you were saying this wasn't 
consistent with other model classes. Maybe I misunderstood that.
