Word description
Creates a new vector to accumulate the values which return true for a predicate. Returns a new quotation which accepts an object to be tested and stored in the collector if the test yields true. The collector is left on the stack for convenience.

Examples

! Find all the even numbers: USING: prettyprint sequences math kernel ; 10 iota [ even? ] selector [ each ] dip .
V{ 0 2 4 6 8 }

Notes
Used to implement the filter word. Compare this word with collector, which is an unfiltering version.
