`json_select_many` would be great if this could get the first x values from the element so `json_select_many "artists" "name" " ● " "5"` would get the first 5 artists only.
An `IfLess` and `IfGreater` function would also be useful.
This would be useful when doing something like this for the List of search results especially:
```auto
json_foreach "artists"
IfGreater "5"
json_select_many "artists" "name" " ● " "5"
say "... n more"
else
json_select_many "artists" "name" " ● "
sayrest
json_foreach_end
say "|"
```

This is now part of [Mp3tag v3.21b](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455).

Just for reference, those have been already added before.
