G'day,
The format for the "choice" statement is:
choice 'prompt' "{sub-prompt sub-symbol}*" default-value
and the following is *not* legal config language (note the
positioning of the closing double quote):
choice 'prompt' "{sub-prompt sub-symbol}* default-value"
It only happens to work because of a combination of accidental
side effects of the current parsers:
* unpaired sub-words inside the 2nd word are silently ignored
* the missing last word is silently treated as if empty

the price of civilisation today is a courageous willingness to prevail,
with force, if necessary, against whatever vicious and uncomprehending
enemies try to strike it down. - Roger Sandall, The Age, 28Sep2001.
