Next time, could you use 'git send-email' to send your patches, it makes
reviewing and commenting much simpler.
Also, it does not mangle the patch commit, and thus makes it easier to
apply with 'git am'.

When we check that a pointer is valid, there's no reason to check it
against NULL, just:
if (choice_sym && choice_sym->...)

I am not sure I understand what issue this patch(es) are supposed to
fix.
What bothers me is that they touch two different places in the code, yet
have the same subject, so it seems both are tryiong to fix the same
issue.
Do you intend that both patches should be applied, or that this second
one supersedes the previous one?

Yes, and it does not matter since non-trisates are necessarily booleans,
and those are covered since they will never be '== mod', so their
visibility was, and still is, properly handled.

I liked your previous commit message better, because it had a test-case
that did exhibit the problem.
Can you please:
- confirm which patch/es is/are needed
- update the commit log/s back with the test-case/s
- resend needed patch/es
Thank you!
