How about just solving the problem the same way as the select command
works?  Have ^tf (or whatever) do labelframes (a new command that you've
already implemented) and then call command mode with selectframe as the
prefix keymap, and in that keymap, have 1 do fselect 1, 2 do fselect
2, etc.  That way, we can make fselect called without arguments simply
prompt us for a frame number to select with the usual RETURN following.

(It also means we can do ^tf- to switch back and forth between our last
two used frames, if somebody feels like implementing that in the future.)

It's simple, Skyler.  You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
