Yeah, and that's fine.  Personally, I'm weary of any objection that
can cite no other reason but that it is "strange"; many good ideas
have been destroyed that way.  But whatever, really I'm not pushing
the form-exception at all.  What I am pushing for is clean and simple
api usage for the developer.  But what I'm seeing so far is pretty
good.  If what you say follows.

However, many of the details here are still missing.  Like how exactly
are objects assigned to this Form so that it knows to use the correct
validate(), and how to save() the object.  And what about Forms that
are complex and deal with more than one object, not just one that is
inlined?  Also, I'm still hazy on how the set_defaults / get_defaults
works exactly.
