If you put regular tags inside of <old-form>, you'll replace the
entire content. To just swap out part, use parameters:
<extend tag="form" for="User">
<old-form merge>
<field-list: (etc)>
# code goes here
</field-list:>
</old-form>
</extend>
Note the : after field-list - that makes all the difference.
