[wp-hackers] Ability to compare arrays in checked() function

[Sudar Muthu]

Matt,

Your approach is good, it didn't strike me before. :)

But I also feel that if we add the condition to check for arrays into the
function, it might help us to save some keystokes while creating forms.

I am still not able to decide which approach will be better though.

With Regards,
Sudar
