FILTERBOOL()

 FUNCTION: filterbool([<obj>/]<attr>, <list>[, <in delim>[, <out delim>[,<arg1>[,<arg2>[,...]]]]])
 This function evaluates the contents of <attr> for each element of <list>,
 passing it in as %0.  A <out delim>-separated list is returned of those
 elements for which the evaluation returns a boolean-true value.  Arguments
 %1, %2, ... are taken from <arg1>, <arg2>, ... respectively, if present.
 <in delim> may be used to specify an input delimiter other than space.
 Examples:
   > &IS_ODD object=mod(%0,2)
   > say filterbool(object/is_odd,1 2 3 4 5)
   You say, "1 3 5"
