Comment:
Hi Quentin,
Thanks for the report.
Essentially, you've hit the limit of what's worth doing with `Meta`
options vs just declaring the form fields by hand. There comes a point
when the meta API just isn't any simpler...
— I don't think there'd be any appetite for adding another meta option for
this. "Just declare the `iso = SloppyIsoField(...)` directly" will be the
advise. (Or use a custom model field class specifying it's
`choices_form_class` in `formfield`...)
I guess an addition to
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/ed3c59097a01ed3f32f8a8bed95307fb5c181251/docs/topics/forms/modelforms.txt#L497
Overriding the default fields] section of the ModelForms docs would be OK,
if you can come up with a suitable addition.
Looking from the paragraph starting `Finally, if you want complete control
over of a field ...`. A sentence or two added there may be appropriate.
(Will accept on that basis.)
