Unrelated, but this could use !sym_is_choice(sym) as well.

Not tested, but looks fine.

As a note if anyone else takes a look, choices get propagated to the
property conditions of the contained symbols, which indirectly causes
the choice to be calculated when the visibility of a contained symbol
is calculated.
