I agree. I would assume a #pick method to take a block. And I would
NEVER be able to guess that #pick and #select are different, they are
synonyms in English. I always thought select was too long a method name,
maybe it can be renamed to pick? ;-)

I very much agree.
Is this method really that useful? The fact that its hard to describe
suggests its not.

dict says of pick:
7. To choose; to select; to separate as choice or desirable; to cull; as, to
pick one's company; to pick one's way; -- often with out. "One man picked out
of ten thousand." --Shak. [1913 Webster]
4. Choice; right of selection; as, to have one's pick; in cat breeding, the
owner of a stud gets the pick of the litter. [1913 Webster +PJC]
5. Hence: That which would be picked or chosen first; the best; as, the pick of
the flock. [1913 Webster]
2. To do anything nicely or carefully, or by attending to small things; to
select something with care. [1913 Webster]
n 1: the person or thing chosen or selected; "he was my pick for mayor" [syn:
{choice}, {selection}]
