New description:
Toggle inputs are quite common web elements and are widely used in modern
web pages, CSS frameworks, etc.
Those could be narrowed down to the `BooleanField` but with several key
differences:
- They never be required, even if defied like so;
- They should always return cleaned data to be `False` if not passed in
the form data;
- They should always have an initial value of `False` unless explicitly
defined;
- On invalid form data those should not raise ValidationError, but cast
the value to `False`;
- They have a special widget, based on the CheckboxInput, but adding
`role="switch"` and `aria-checked="false/true"`/based on the value/;
