Perhaps I want the world on a stick, but adding a method for each
field seems wrong in the context of my requirement, or maybe Im
misunderstanding something. Also would both getField1() AND isField1()
be evaluated?

Also I want to keep my annotation validations (@NotBlank(), @Regex,
@Email, etc.) and simply ignore them if the field is "not enabled".

In anycase I will experiment with stripping the rules from the
validator, or maybe I can do something like removing the fields just
after or before the form is bound ... interesting.
