Selections

Selections

A selection is a set of addresses. Users typically construct selections and pass them to Gen inference library methods.

There are various concrete types for selections, each of which is a subtype of AddressSet. One such concrete type is DynamicAddressSet, which users can populate using Base.push!, e.g.:

sel = DynamicAddressSet()
push!(sel, :x)
push!(sel, "foo")
push!(sel, :y => 1 => :z)

There is also the following syntactic sugar:

sel = select(:x, "foo", :y => 1 => :z)
