 The `select` command allows monitoring several channels at the same time
 without noticeable CPU load.  It consists of a list of possible transfers and associated branches
 of statements - similar to the [match](#match) command:
-```v wip
+```v
 import time
-fn main () {
-  c := chan f64{}
-  ch := chan f64{}
-  ch2 := chan f64{}
-  ch3 := chan f64{}
-  mut b := 0.0
-  // ...
-  select {
-    a := <-ch {
-        // do something with `a`
-    }
-    b = <-ch2 {
-        // do something with predeclared variable `b`
-    }
-    ch3 <- c {
-        // do something if `c` was sent
-    }
-    > 500 * time.millisecond {
-        // do something if no channel has become ready within 0.5s
-    }
-  }
