public static function processCheckbox(&$element, FormStateInterface $form_state, &$complete_form) {
  $value = $element['#value'];
  $return_value = $element['#return_value'];
  // On form submission, the #value of an available and enabled checked
  // checkbox is #return_value, and the #value of an available and enabled
  // unchecked checkbox is integer 0. On not submitted forms, and for
  // checkboxes with #access=FALSE or #disabled=TRUE, the #value is
  // #default_value (integer 0 if #default_value is NULL). Most of the time,
  // a string comparison of #value and #return_value is sufficient for
  // determining the "checked" state, but a value of TRUE always means checked
  // (even if #return_value is 'foo'), and a value of FALSE or integer 0
  // always means unchecked (even if #return_value is '' or '0').

  else {
    // Compare as strings, so that 15 is not considered equal to '15foo', but
    // 1 is considered equal to '1'. This cast does not imply that either
    // #value or #return_value is expected to be a string.
    $element['#checked'] = (string) $value === (string) $return_value;
