Description

Currently, the model field defines the default form field that's used
by the modelform metaclass. It would be nice if we could override this.

For example, if a Radio widget should be used by default for a OneToOne field:

    class TestModel(models.Model):
        name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

        test = models.OneToOneField(
            'self',
            null=True,
            blank=True,
            related_name='related_test_models',
            # This seems like it would always be useful
            formfield_defaults={
                'widget': forms.RadioSelect
            }
        )
