 Looking at the `Element` synchronizer for checkboxes:

 {{{#!js
         api.Element.synchronizer.checkbox = {
                 update: function( to ) {
                         this.element.prop( 'checked', to );
                 },
                 refresh: function() {
                         return this.element.prop( 'checked' );
                 }
         };
 }}}

 Note that it is setting the `checked` property to the Setting's value.
 This means that the checkboxes are explicitly expecting the values to be
 `true` and `false`, not enumerated values. The `radio` button synchronizer
 looks like it will work with enumerated values, however. Isn't a `radio`
 button what you are after anyway?
