+It's possible to construct a Form dynamically by adding to the self.fields
+dictionary in __init__(). Don't forget to call Form.__init__() within the
+subclass' __init__().
+>>> class Person(Form):
+...     first_name = CharField()
+...     last_name = CharField()
+...     def __init__(self):
+...         super(Person, self).__init__()
+...         self.fields['birthday'] = DateField()
+>>> p = Person()

+<tr><td>Last name:</td><td><input type="text" name="last_name" /></td></tr>
+<tr><td>Birthday:</td><td><input type="text" name="birthday" /></td></tr>
