+     * Lookup to all {@link CaseRuntimeType}s related to a {@link ChoiceRuntimeType}. This is important when dealing

+     *
+     * <p>
+     * As an example, consider {@link ChoiceRuntimeType} and {@link CaseRuntimeType} relationship to
+     * {@link GeneratedType}s in the following model:
+     * <pre>
+     *   <code>
+     *     grouping grp {
+     *       container foo {
+     *         choice bar;
+     *       }
+     *     }
+     *
+     *     container foo {
+     *       uses grp;

+     *
+     *     container bar {
+     *       uses grp;

+     * </pre>
+     * YANG view of what is valid in {@code /foo/foo/bar} differs from what is valid in {@code /bar/foo/bar}, but this
+     * difference is not reflected in generated Java constructs. More notably, the two augments being in different
+     * modules. Since {@code choice bar}'s is part of a reusable construct, {@code grouping one}, DataObjects' copy
+     * builders can propagate them without translating them to the appropriate manifestation -- and they can do nothing
+     * about that as they lack the complete view of the effective model.
+     *
+     * <p>
+     * This method provides a bridge between a particular instantiation of a {@code choice} to {@link CaseRuntimeType}s
+     * valid in all instantiations.
+     *
+     * @param choiceType A ChoiceRuntimeType
+     * @return The set of {@link CaseRuntimeType}s known to this instance
+     * @throws NullPointerException if {@code ChoiceRuntimeType} is null
