 * A list of choices that can be selected in a choice field.

 * A choice list assigns unique string values to each of a list of choices.
 * These string values are displayed in the "value" attributes in HTML and
 * submitted back to the server.
 *
 * The acceptable data types for the choices depend on the implementation.
 * Values must always be strings and (within the list) free of duplicates.
