I did a small test of this using following configuration:
config A
bool "a"

config B
bool "b"
depends on A
default AA || AAA

config BB
bool "bb"
depends on A

config C
bool "c"
select B

config CC
bool "cc"
select BB


I had expected a warning about complex select for
both C and CC. But only C triggered the warning
due to the complex default value of B.
So we need to work on this a bit more.

But great to see code instead of just talking!
