Hi everyone,

As Semantic Forms matures, it almost by necessity gets bigger - more
features, workarounds, etc. This is as it should be, but every additional
feature means more code to maintain, more to document and more for users to
understand.  For that reason, it's sometimes good to remove features that
turn out to be unnecessary, when possible. I'm thinking currently of the
"choosers" input, which lets users add instances of multiple-instance
templates from one place. You can see it in action here:

http://discoursedb.org/wiki/Special:AddData/Item2/Choosers_test

...and here's how the form is defined:

http://discoursedb.org/w/index.php?title=Form:Item2&action=edit

This is a very rarely-used feature, from what I've seen, and in fact I'd
guess that most people on this list weren't even aware of its existence.
It's strictly a convenience feature; and it's possible (hopefully) that the
Header Tabs extension has made it even less necessary, by allowing large
forms to be broken up into smaller sections.

In any case, I'm thinking of removing it from Semantic Forms. Does anyone
have any opinions one way or the other?
