I considered that as well, but unfortunately that only works when
you're in full control of all child components. But DateField and
DateTimeField both have newDateTextField which is a factory method
that clients can override. So much for that.
See, we can keep bouncing back and forth. I'm ok with the solution we
have now (removed final from setRequired). I did override isRequired
on the panels where I did override setRequired, so that's tight now.
