Provide way to override PropertyEditor.beanBlockSource
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAP5-619
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-619
             Project: Tapestry 5
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.1.0.1
            Reporter: Alfie Kirkpatrick
            Priority: Minor


I am building a search form and would like to override the default edit blocks 
with search-style ones. This is conjunction with a HashMap<String, Object> 
backed bean model. As an example, for dates I want to have a date range block 
which sends back a start/end range for a date, possibly as a 
DateRangeSearchTerm against the property name in the hashmap. The search 
implementation will then know how to convert this into a query to the backend.

I might be pushing the whole BeanEditModel/Conduit framework further than 
intended? However, doing it this way provides some nice ways to override an 
auto-built form, eg. by restricting/reordering the properties or by overriding 
specific blocks even further.
