Well, not really. If you allow a symbol of a choice to be selected, then
how would you handle this case;
config FOO
bool "foo"
select BUZ_A
config BAR
bool "bar"
select BUZ_B
choice
bool "buz"
config BUZ_A
bool "buz-a"
config BUZ_B
bool "buz-b"
endchoice
That's basicaly unsolvable.
Hence, selecting a choice entry does not make sense to start with.

Yes, _WANTS_PY is ugly.
