ord_select ?

Dear all, 

in library  library(ordsets) I would like to have the  same behaviour as select/3 for lists,
in that if the element is not in the set the predicate should fail.

That is 

?- select( a, [a,b,c], R ).
R = [b, c] ;

?- select( d, [a,b,c], R ).
false.


ord_del_element/3 is the closest thing as far as i can see, 
but it does not fail if the element is not in the set.

?- ord_del_element( [a,b,c], d, R ).
R = [a, b, c].


1. am i missing the correct predicate to achieve this ?

2. would it make sense to include some such like predicate to the library?
