I certainly will. I believe that or variations have been suggested.

First, though, I'd like to see if a reliable drop-onto-stock-form

educational reasons if nothing else. Unless I'm failing to understand
something, creating a custom form descendant seems a project-wide approach
instead of a component approach.
