function form_type_radios_value(&$element, $input = FALSE) {
    if ($input !== FALSE) {
        // When there's user input (including NULL), return it as the value.
        // However, if NULL is submitted, _form_builder_handle_input_element() will
        // apply the default value, and we want that validated against #options
        // unless it's empty. (An empty #default_value, such as NULL or FALSE, can
        // be used to indicate that no radio button is selected by default.)

        // For default value handling, simply return #default_value. Additionally,
        // for a NULL default value, set #has_garbage_value to prevent
        // _form_builder_handle_input_element() converting the NULL to an empty
        // string, so that code can distinguish between nothing selected and the
        // selection of a radio button whose value is an empty string.
