I am not ignoring him. As I stated above I do not believe fallout is
likely since most other major libc implementations have already done
this:

glibc: already done -
https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/master/misc/sys/select.h#L101
openbsd: already done
https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/sys/select.h#L128
dragonflyBSD: alredy done:
https://github.com/dragonflybsd/dragonflybsd/blob/master/sys/sys/select.h#L50
netbsd: already done:
https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/sys/sys/select.h#L69

As a further check I went through the search results on github for
select() and did not see any failures in the top few pages.
