=get_selection= is one of the most powerful APIs in the Integration
Kit. It can be used to perform all kinds of selections in the model.
All the selection criteria which you find in the UI are available; in addition
you can specify filter functions which are called during selection.

But this is advanced usage; let's start with something _very_ simple:
Using =get_selection= to list all names of parts in an assembly. Not very
useful in itself, but you can start building your own selections
from there.
