selection command

the command 'reselect' is not really intuitive.
The syllable 're' suggests a repetition and not the logical AND.
At this point a more detailed explanation in the manual would be helpful, e.g. building on logical operations OR and AND.

I recommend introducing a new more intuitive command and phasing out 'reselect'.
Maybe 'OrCriterion' and 'AndCriterion' could be introduced to modify a selection.
An other suggested could be 'OrSelect' and 'AndSelect'

The same applies to the command 'ReselectNodes'.
Also here an 'AndSelectNodes' command could be introduced.
side note: The manual does not provide a clear definition of what 'ReselectNodes' does.
Instead, only an example is provided.

Reselect and AlsoSelect are more intuitive when you "read" the input as English sentence. AndSelect is more like doing a union instead of intersection.

Explanations will be added in manual to explain these commands.
