sure.  inventing the name was the hardest part when i was implementing
this function :)

WY>  How  about stat_select(), since it would behave like select(2)?

well, i would take word "select" as an implication that this function
will   block   and  wait  for  something to happen. "stat_selective"
would  be  more intuitive, but it goes against the custom of not using
adjectives in posix function names.
