Wow this is really screwing me royal. Doesn't work with any form of
select, best I can tell initial doesn't work with ChoiceFields at all.
I've tried going into the source and logging out the value param to
the widget and it is always just [].
Am I on crack, can somebody verify, so I can file a bug report if I'm
not. ( by default these days I just assume I'm an idiot. )
