|Maybe it would seem a better fit if the two were combined?

|  arr.select(0,2,4) { |s| s == "c" }  # ["c"]

Hmm, from this combination,

  arr.select {|s| s == "c"}

can be considered as

  arr.select() {|s| s == "c"}

i.e.

  arr.select(*[]) {|s| s == "c"}        # [] ???

Of course, current behavior has this too, but would combination
emphasize wierdness?

|I think I would still like this better:
|
|  arr.at(0,2,4).select { |s| s == "c" }

I admit this is better in some aspect.

Does "at" takes multiple placement make you feel natural?
And is this natural for Hashes?
