  We're typically trying to reduce the number of utility methods in use in Prototype

  I'd advocate somehow rethinking that API.

  When Prototype serializes the form it finds the radio button/checkbox in the group that has a checked value.

  I guess one could modify the $F() to accept a nodeList or array of elements to get the checked elements value.

  or

    var group = [element1, element2, element3],
    value = group.findAll(function(element)  return $(element).name == group[0].name })
      .detect(function(element) { return element.checked }).getValue();

  In fact I named it $V to be able to continue using $F and getValue() that are used widely in our project. $F could be improved to be able to do all that my function can do (maybe by getting inspiration from $V) and to throw onchange events too (like mine)
