Yeah, at a guess you'd combine the multiple `WaitToReadAsync` with `await Task.WhenAny`; then use `TryRead` to run though the bunch of channels in a non-blocking way.

Could even use the return `await Task.WhenAny` to tell you the specific one to check. Shouldn't be a very hard construct to make; to make it more select like.

good. It looks it is much like the reflect.Select (https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#Select) in Go.

It has the benefit that any number of tasks can be selected, but the efficiency is not good as hard-coded select blocks.

But it looks C# Task.WhenAny has much less use case variants than Go select block.
