When you want to render your own forms in templates, without any sort of
widgetery, you bump into an issue: it is impossible to get the actual
value of a field in a succinct and clean way.
Looking at Django's code for figuring this out, it clearly is a non-
trivial task, and one you can easily get wrong.
So, to remedy this, I suggest adding a `value` attribute to `BoundField`,
which simply returns that exact value. This could be used in templates
like so:
{{{
#!jinja
<input type="text" name="{{ form.username.name }}" value="{{
form.username.value }}">
}}}
I for one find this both intuitive and readable.
