Comment:

 Here is a scenario which explains what I am try to do.

 Let's say I am writing a Plugin, which is displaying all top level pages
 (as checkboxes) and the user will be selecting some of them. I will have
 the name of the checkboxes as an array (eg: selected_pages[]), so that I
 can easily handle the post variables when the form is submitted.

 Now the next time, when the page is displayed, I have to keep the
 checkboxes that were already selected as checked. I will have the selected
 pages as an array, and instead of looping through every time to find out
 whether the current page is there in the array or not, I can pass the
 current id and the array to the checked function which can print
 checked='checked', if the current page id is present in the array.

 I have attached a small Plugin to demonstrate this.

 (sorry for the delay in reply, I didn't noticed the status change)
