Such radio groups have not yet been implemented, it should be
straight-forward to do so though. You could look at the code in

https://github.com/plt/racket/blob/master/collects/web-server/formlets/input.rkt

around multiselect-input for a way to do it.

Or you could just write some test cases for me and I'll do it.

Ya, you're right, it gets thrown out. I'll fix that.
