Extending Hash#values to accept a list of keys 
still seems best to me.

I could live with this.

This doesn't really speak to me. I'm not sure 
what a "selection" is, so I don't think we should 
add another term to the language if we don't have 
to.

But the original problem we were trying to solve 
is that #indexes doesn't return indexes (keys). 
It returns values. Putting indexes in the name 
will continue at least some of that confusion.
