As of version 202, the only way to set the choice selection is to call
the `set-selection' method after creating the object.

In CVS, I've exp-tagged a change to MrEd so that choice% has a
`selection' init argument. I also added a `value' init argument to
check%, and a `selection' init argument to radio-box% and list-box%.

In the init argument order, each new argument follows the `style'
argument. This ordering means that the change is not
backward-compatible, but it seems unlikely to me that anyone relies on
init order past `style'.

I also added a `checked' init argument for checkable-menu-item% (at the
end of the init sequence).

[Many of these changes were requested in the past, and I just never got
around to it.]
