The alternatives:

Using http://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#Select to build what you need;

Or building something specific to your use case without the above, which seems likely to be... goofy and unmanageable. Creating objects that create new channels to do `select`s over some fixed number of cases and composing those.

Do you have any experience using `reflect.Select`? While not exactly ergonomic, it seemed a... pretty okay tradeoff, inconvenience for power, and at the very least more power for approximately the same amount of pain as the rest of the `reflect` package.
