<aside>
Now that I see that, I regret that we called the option on p:filter
"select" since it's going to mean that we have a select attribute that
is an AVT in V.next. Oh, well. Water under the bridge.

I suppose select *could* be allowed in both places, but I bet that
would be a mistake more often than it would be what the user really
wanted.
