My suggestion is 'radioable', keeping the 'o'. Per our IRC discussions a 
person walking into the conversation might not understand 'radiable', 
which could have other meanings (radis, radii, radial, etc.).

The term 'radio' (-ing, -button, etc.) is commonly understood by GUI 
people and designers. An engineer might use the word modulo, but that 
would be out of context in a GUI. My suggestion of 'radioable' with the 
current vernacular of the GUI context.

background:
The internal property is to have a single word and 'able' (ible).
The 'consumer' side widgets of this property would be a radio button, 
single check list, etc.
