I was surprised looking through old code that I didn't have much in the way 
of "interesting, non-trivial" selects - in every case where I remember 
doing something interesting through a select statement, later versions had 
moved to less interesting selects, more interesting messages from channels 
in the select arms. Non-deterministic selection between a flat list of 
edges is very clear to reason about. Channels of (some carefully composed 
type of functions and channels and tokens etc.) are possible, so messages 
can be pretty interesting.

Generally I think each example could be motivated as a scheduling gadget 
... I briefly looked at some job queueing libraries (temporal.io, asynq) to 
see if they had "interesting" selects, they also looked like they were 
going more towards interesting messages.
