Say I have a TypedMultipleChoiceField and I'm building a custom select 
multiple widget in my template.

If I want to check a box based on an initial value (ie. default checked 
options), OR check a box based on form data that has been returned (ie. 
error state), I would do this:

<input type="checkbox" {% if form.field.value %}checked{% endif %}>

HOWEVER, {{form.field.value}} source documentation (boundfield.py) states: 
"Returns the value for this BoundField, using the initial value if the form 
is not bound or the data otherwise."

So basically the equivalent of:
return (form.field.data or form.field.initial)

*Wouldn't it be more appropriate and useful for boundfield.value to return 
CLEANED data that has gone through to_python()? As in:*
return (form.field.*cleaned_data* or form.field.initial)
