Comment:

 I made exactly the same mistake the first time I used this control. +1 on
 changing it to a single radio button for 1.9.

 I also think that:
 * there should be more of a space between each button+label and the next
 (otherwise it isn't clear that the text applies to the button on its
 left);
 * there's no need for "(experimental)" in the MDMF label. In any case, the
 create-directory and create-file controls should be consistent in whether
 they include "(experimental)".
