Just a random thought, in a true unix tradition, be nice to be able to do things like

$ find <whatever> | fselect max(size)

This way fselect would be more composable with other tools. E.g., could do things like fd | fselect | fzf (with fd being lightning-fast when going through massive numbers of files, so you could narrow it down before filtering it with more detail). In theory, you could also pipe fselect into fselect, why not? :)

Syntax-wise, maybe the whole from clause could be then omitted, and if there's anything being piped in, it would filter those results instead of searching in the current folder.
