title: AngularJS prevent default select directive
body: <p>In my case AngularJS's <a href="http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive%3aselect%20select" rel="nofollow"><code>select</code></a> is not a good fit - (with <code>ng-repeat</code> approach <code>&lt;option&gt;</code> values can only be strings and with <code>ng-options</code> I can't properly set the initial selected value).</p>
  
  <p>What can I do to stop angular from applying <code>select</code> directive everywhere he sees <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> element ?</p>
  
  <p>The reason I am asking this question, is because I want to apply a custom directive on <code>select</code> element, that would perform something similar like the original one, so they would be conflicting.</p>
