Am I correct in my understanding that the BMElem.select_set() function will
allow Python scripts to select/deselect mesh elements (vertices, faces, etc.)
without toggling in and out of Edit/Object mode? If so, this will be a very
welcome improvement, particularly for scripts that deal with high resolution
meshes.

Of course, if I'm misunderstanding the use of that function, then I'd like to
know if there *is* a plan to get away from the Edit/Object mode toggle dance
when selecting mesh elements.
