Documentation: Calling wait on empty selection structure hangs, does not panic

[laumann]

In the documentation for Select it reads:

/// Creates a new selection structure. This set is initially empty and
/// `wait` will panic!() if called.

but the following program does not panic, it simply hangs.

use std::sync::mpsc::Select;
fn main() {
    Select::new().wait();
}
