Currently there is no hook to alter how forms are instantiated in admin,
without hacking add_view/change_view.
This simple change could allow some nice stuff like access to the request
object for form validation, customising fields, etc.

Proposed syntax --
{{{
class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
...
def get_form_instance(self, request, obj=None):
... (default method calls get_form() here)
}}}
