In R2, if you use select with /skip, it returns a block:

data: [a 10 "bob" b 20 "ted" c 30 "sam"]
select/skip data 'b 3
[20 "ted"]

That can be useful at times - because you get the remaining contents of the "implied" record.

However, in R3:

select/skip data 'b 3
20

which is consistent with the definition of select, but not with R2 behavior.
