* For non-optional choices, add a reverse dependency (corresponding to
* a select) of '<visibility> && m'. This prevents the user from
* setting the choice mode to 'n' when the choice is visible.
*
* This would also work for non-choice symbols, but only non-optional
* choices clear SYMBOL_OPTIONAL as of writing. Choices are implemented
* as a type of symbol.
