####################### DESCRIPTION: #######################
#
# multiselect is a pure bash implementation of a multi
# selection menu.
#
# If "true" is passed as first argument a help (similar to
# the overview in section "USAGE") will be printed before
# showing the options. Any other value will hide it.
#
# The result will be stored as an array in a variable
# that is passed to multiselect as second argument.
#
# The third argument takes an array that contains all
# available options.
#
# The last argument is optional and can be used to
# preselect certain options. If used it must be an array
# that has a value of "true" for every index of the options
# array that should be preselected.
#
########################## USAGE: ##########################
#
#   j or ↓        => down
#   k or ↑        => up
#   ⎵ (Space)     => toggle selection
#   ⏎ (Enter)     => confirm selection
#
