<li> then there should be an even number of Arguments:
String, expression; expression should be Convertible to Boolean.
<li> finally there should be a String.

<li> convert pattern into a NNode chain.
<li> convert symbol args into a Symbol Map.
<li> parse selectList into SelectList struct. The inputOI used to translate
these expressions should be based on the
