New description:

 A valued() function would fit well with the helper functions selected()
 and checked().

 Makes it easier to add a value if it exists, and to escape the value with
 esc_attr().

 Makes it easier to provide a placeholder text.

 Use would be:

 {{{
 <input type="text" <?php valued( $possible_num, true, '4 digit number' );
 ?>>
 }}}

 Which would result in:

 {{{
 <input type="text" value="1234" placeholder="4 digit number">
 }}}
 Or
 {{{
 <input type="text" placeholder="4 digit number">
 }}}
 (Depending on the original value of $possible_num)
