Just a few examples of what can be currently achieved only by patching:

These three things could be configured through properties I guess. So
there shouldn't be a need for patching.
That is why i wrote some things are trivial :)
- you won't even be able to define a new cforms widget definition
because they don't use the new service selector that allows to span
components over several files.
While some things are trivial to fix some are not and all definitely
need some committer attention. The problem with declaring widgets in
other files is probably a year old.
Yes, I think cforms in general is the hardest bit: it's not possible for
exampe to add a converter to a datatype without patching. We should
definitly come up with a better configuration which does not require any
patching just for adding new widgets, converters etc.
Exactly. Still my point is valid: users need to use it as is and won't
be able to wait for developers mercy.
I have found yet another example: JXTemplate generator. Does anybody
even remember that you can use javascript in jxtg along with jexl and jxtg?
{jexl:expr}
{jxpath:expr}
{js:expr}
or simply {expr} for default language
instead of
${expr}
#{expr}
And why? Because there is no simple way (not even for a developer) to
make a switch.
