I meant the "too late" insertion of radio buttons into
radio-button-choice widgets (and likewise of checkboxes into checklist
widgets), because IIUC the way this is currently done (by
widget-radio-add-item and widget-checklist-add-item, respectively)
requires that the container widget is already in the buffer.
