Creating form and model field subclasses. You'll need to override the model field's __init__ method to handle the extra kwarg and the formfield() method. Model fields are designed to accept arbitrary bonus information (most Python objects aren't, so we're not being inconsistent here), but they are designed to be easily subclassable.
