/**
 * Form represents a form.
 *
 * To implement your own form fields, you need to have a thorough understanding
 * of the data flow within a form. A form stores its data in three different
 * representations:
 *
 *   (1) the "model" format required by the form's object
 *   (2) the "normalized" format for internal processing
 *   (3) the "view" format used for display
 *
 * A date field, for example, may store a date as "Y-m-d" string (1) in the
 * object. To facilitate processing in the field, this value is normalized
 * to a DateTime object (2). In the HTML representation of your form, a
 * localized string (3) is presented to and modified by the user.
 *
 * In most cases, format (1) and format (2) will be the same. For example,
 * a checkbox field uses a Boolean value for both internal processing and
 * storage in the object. In these cases you simply need to set a value
 * transformer to convert between formats (2) and (3). You can do this by
 * calling addViewTransformer().
 *
 * In some cases though it makes sense to make format (1) configurable. To
 * demonstrate this, let's extend our above date field to store the value
 * either as "Y-m-d" string or as timestamp. Internally we still want to
 * use a DateTime object for processing. To convert the data from string/integer
 * to DateTime you can set a normalization transformer by calling
 * addNormTransformer(). The normalized data is then converted to the displayed
 * data as described before.
 *
 * The conversions (1) -> (2) -> (3) use the transform methods of the transformers.
 * The conversions (3) -> (2) -> (1) use the reverseTransform methods of the transformers.
