I've needed widgets with dynamic choices many times for Customize.
Stefan also suggested a `dynamic-choice' would be handy. So, I wanted to
ask some questions before we write code:
* what should it look like? Just a callable symbol or a form or
something else?
* when should the widget get updated?
* how do we deal with outliers like a dynamic 100000 element list?
* how are errors handled? do we empty the list or go back to the last
good version?
* should this just be a way to provide 'choice and 'radio, or do we want
a more generic facility that can handle the other composite types?
