/**
* Marker interface for CHOICE objects - if you implement this in a role your
* own object any attempt to tag the object implicitly will convert the tag to
* an explicit one as the encoding rules require.
*
* If you use this interface your class should also implement the getInstance()
* pattern which takes a tag object and the tagging mode used.

* X.690
* 8: Basic encoding rules
* 8.13 Encoding of a choice value
*
* The encoding of a choice value shall be the same as the encoding of a value of the chosen type.
*
* NOTE 1 — The encoding may be primitive or constructed depending on the chosen type.
*
*
* NOTE 2 — The tag used in the identifier octets is the tag of the chosen type,
* as specified in the ASN.1 definition of the choice type.
