In particular,
(select-item-from-list '(a b c d) :selection-type :disjoint)
does not seem to allow disjoint selections. Rather, :disjoint appears
to have become a synonym for :contiguous. (I say "no longer works" and
"appears to have become" because I seem to remember that in 1.2,
:disjoint selections worked OK.)
This is a "feature" of the Macintosh user interface. To get
a disjoint selection, you have to hold down the clover key.
If you hold down the shift key, you get a contiguous selection.
In this sense, the :disjoint option is a superset of the
:contiguous option.
