 * <p>Tag handler for <choose> in JSTL.</p>
 * 
 * <p><choose> is a very simple tag that acts primarily as a container;
 * it always includes its body and allows exactly one of its child
 * <when> tags to run.  Since this tag handler doesn't have any
 * attributes, it is common.core to both the rtexprvalue and expression-
 * evaluating versions of the JSTL library.
