Hmm. Seems pretty confusing. I could see making it selective in general, or non-selective in general, but having it sometimes one and sometimes another seems odd. If we want selective, I assume the way is to have the UI pass a unit view, not a unit, into the kernel. But making it consistently non-selective is the way I would lean.
