RadioButton

Radio Button Module.
This represents an hs._asm.axuielement with a AXRadioButton role. It allows checking and modifying the checked status like so:
myButton:checked() == true            -- happens to be checked already
myButton:checked(false) == false    -- update to unchecked.
myButton.checked:toggle() == true    -- toggled back to being checked.
You can also call instances of RadioButton as a function, which will return the checked status:
myButton() == true            -- still true
myButton(false) == false    -- now false
