Selection is supported for arrays and anything that implements `java.lang.Iterable` or
`java.util.Map`. For a list or array, the selection criteria is evaluated against each
individual element. Against a map, the selection criteria is evaluated against each map
entry (objects of the Java type `Map.Entry`). Each map entry has its `key` and `value`
accessible as properties for use in the selection.

In addition to returning all the selected elements, you can retrieve only the first or

`.^[selectionExpression]`. To obtain the last matching selection, the syntax is
