fio

"fio" (form IO) is a set of utilities for getting/setting data in HTML input and select form fields more consistently type coercion and validation.

It follows these conventions:

- Disabled fields are ignored when getting values, but will be set if a value exists for it
- Only checkboxes and radio buttons that _checked_ are returned
- Selectors pointing to inputs will be treated as a multi-value fields and will return an array on get (as well as expect an array when set). This of course excludes radio buttons due to the constraint mentioned above.
- Checkbox and radio buttons are set via their value
- Values are coerced based on the data-type attribute if one is present and falls back to the type attribute
- Empty values are coerced to null
