#19592: BaseForms validation and ValidationError's params

-----------------------------+--------------------
In forms/forms.py the _clean_fields function of BaseForm waits for
ValidationError exception and inserts e.messages to self._errors.
The problem is that ValidationError supports quite useful things, like
params, understanding dict arguments, etc. Since forms/forms.py takes only
e.messages, there's no way to access later these parameters.
Would this make a reasonable request for improvement of BaseForms: instead
of using e.messages, wrap the returned exception into some object, whose
__unicode__ method returns e.messages (to preserve compatibility), with
additional properties taken from ValidationError.params?
This would allow for fine-grained error reporting. Not only would we have
error messages reported per field, but could also specify additional
parameters in the error message.
