This is just a nit, and it won't hurt anything by remaining unfixed, but
it is odd that if you go into select_features() with no_path_retry set
to queue (for any length of time) and features includes
"queue_if_no_path", you will exit with no_path_retry still set to queue
and "queue_if_no_path" removed from features. However if you go into
select_features with no_path_retry set to undef and features includes
"queue_if_no_path", you will exit with no_path_retry set to queue and
"queue_if_no_path" still included in features. It seems odd that in the
second case, you explicitly set these options to the values that you
started with in the first case (which you later changed). A perhaps more
sensible option would be to only remove "queue_if_no_path" from features
if no_path_retry is set to something other than NO_PATH_RETRY_QUEUE.
