That's not how it works now. Currently you write on the choice node
the type of the structure you'd like to have and then you may set
values as it would have been for a non-choice node of that type. You
may emulate the behavior you describe by using ANY instead of Data in
the choice members in the ASN.1 description. In the any node you can
write any DER encoded structure you like. I'll check, when I find some
time, whether this can be handled on the parser as well.
