I don't suppose you've thought much about this situation: I've got a couple of standard (what I'll call) mixin-forms that have fields and validations that I 'mixin' to a form (once or not at all). They aren't forms on their own, just a bunch of fields and validation rules. For example, I have a standard way of describing an entity (name, title, abbreviated description, full description, and a few other things). It's possible to think of tabs this way as well. Dropdowns in a nav bar is similar too, maybe. It's pretty clear how to get started on implementing something like this, but I'm wondering if you've considered anything in this regard. I've also got groups of several controls that operate together. The bootstrap prepended and appended inputs are simple examples. These are to some degree like the 'mixin' things I mentioned, but there can be more than one of them and they need to be distinguished, and the validation might be different for each or need to be extended for each instance. It looks to be easy enough to do this by adding new field types (extending the render-field and parse-input multimethods). Is that how you'd approach the problem? While I think of it, do you provide a way to validate that a value corresponds to one of the :options?
