24 A "SelectSaver" object contains a reference to the file handle that was
25 selected when it was created. If its "new" method gets an extra
26 parameter, then that parameter is selected; otherwise, the selected
27 file handle remains unchanged.
28
29 When a "SelectSaver" is destroyed, it re-selects the file handle that
30 was selected when it was created.
