I also noticed that if you have an active selection, you cannot start a selection tool from within the selection. Being able to do so would be useful when, for example, you want to "subtract" a small circle from within a larger one to form a donut-shaped selection.
Just as you can use Shift-Click when selecting to add selections together, you can use Ctrl-Click to take parts of a selection away.
(Note that shift-click and ctrl-click appear to be overloaded, shift is also the way to make a uniform selection (e.g. a square), and ctrl seems to tread the point of the click as the center of the selection. They work normally with the lasso tool.)
