Yeah, I was able to do that, too, but I didn't see the value in using
FFK for only validation when I needed to build most of my validators
myself anyway (most of them were db-based).  Of course, I still have
to do that with FormKit, but doing so with FormKit seems more natural
to me (although that may well be a measure of my understanding of Python
now vs. then).
