Guess what, it was all implemented: field get_choices retrieves a
pair list with the contents of the select box, so with an llength
you can create the limit for the random command. And you can get
the selected value with field get_value, it returns empty string,
one string, or a list of strings depending on the status of the
select box. I've added a few asserts to a test to check this.
