 * Certain plug-ins change the number of columns during their conversion, for example
 * the ToBinaryPlugin increases the number of columns. This plug in can 
 * be used to select certain columns from all available columns at that moment.
 * It just uses an advanced column selector as StreamInputSynapse and
 * all plug-ins do, but this plug-in does not work on certain columns as most plug-ins
 * do, but it selects columns like the StreamInputSynapse does.
