Comment (by mk):
This is a bit harder than it looks at first sight. According to
http://fuhm.net/super-harmful/ , every single argument should be passed
on. However, this obviously won't work when there aren't any mixins
around, just object, because object does not accept any arguments in
__init__.
On the other hand, standard subclassing of Form expects all arguments
BaseForm itself accepts too.
Depending on the mro, mixins/subclasses will have to accept either
*args/**kwargs or nothing.
I'm not sure how we should fix this issue.
