So I guess this seems like as good a place as any to slide this
question in:

can anyone think of *anything* that *could* be done by writing a
selection set file from processing and then running with it, that could
*not* be done (in these modern times :-) by merely writing a -v table?

Note that I'm *not* asking the reverse question; clearly there are
things that -v processing *can* do that any kind of selection set
cannot, like displaying the selectors on the screen as you enter them.
