My one concern is that technically this could be a breaking change if a user is subclassing Primary and overriding __call__ to do something special during server selection. One simple way to avoid that risk is doing type(selector) is Primary rather than isinstance. Or we could document the potential breaking change.

Oh one more thing, don't we have to call the custom_selector here if one was provided?
