Hmm, that sounds like a subtle request for documentation.  Noted,
although it's already on my mental to-do list (and has been for a
while).  The widget classes on their own are quite helpful, though --
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has found that.

I wonder how many of those little annoyances boil down to cgi.py, which
still underlies Quixote's form-processing.  I've toyed with the idea of
ditching that dependency entirely -- IMHO cgi.py is overly complicated
and has too much historical cruft.
