What would you think of having the widget itself, instead of the spec
handle the error messages for 1 level AND specifications like this?
I don't see any easy way to produce nice error messages from
any compound spec that is deeper.

What if the widget argument is a list
of (spec, error) pairs, all of which must be
satisfied by the value?

form.add_password('passwd1',
     specs=[(pattern('\d+$'), 'must be digits')
            (length(4), 'must have length 4')])
