It is actually a verb: "select_set(bool): set selection and
flush, attribute only sets."<br>
<br>
It is the Yoda way of expressing it, object-verb, that makes
sense because Blender is written in Japanese (just kidding :p

<br>
So it's not SELECT (verb) a SET of things (noun)? <br>
<br>
I'd have thought selection_set would have matched the description
then, but that doesn't clarify the flush behaviour. It's why I
favoured clump as it implies you are selecting more than you think
:)<br>
<br>
Flush is another term that'd need reading up on.. So the description
isn't that useful anyway..<br>

<div>But my objection is more about things that looks the same
but do different things... I learn a lot about the API by
looking at other people's code, and sometimes assumptions
about what seems obvious (it looks the same it does the same)
is reason for losing time wondering WhyTF the code doesn't
work.<br>

Well clump is obviously different so I'll take that as a +1 :p<br>
<br>
Just kidding, but something like:<br>
<br>
select_clump(bool): set item and related features selection state.<br>
<br>
seems pretty clear to me.. if "item" and "features" were specific to
context, so "vertex", "edges & faces" etc it'd be totally clear
without needing to dive for the api reference..<br>
