Chainable Query Builder with select

Discussed in #3341

I started playing around with the chainable query builder (https://guides.wheels.dev/v4-0-0/basics/query-builder-and-scopes/), and it seems to be working well. Might like this better than findall() at some point. However, I find myself wanting to still limit the fields down to just what is needed. Select doesn't seem to be chainable?

Something like this

model("person")
.select("firstname,lastname,email")
.where("id","1234")
.get();

I see some Rails has some docs on their implementation.
