30306	Textarea widget missing input_type	minusf	nobody	"(I tried to search for this both in here and the pull requests on github but there is an eerie quiet about it.)

`Textarea` seems to be one of the few (if not the only) widget not defining `input_type`.
I can't think of a good reason why it couldn't have one and some people find out about this strange omission when they try to do something like:

{{{
        for field in self.fields:
            widget = self.fields[field].widget

            if widget.input_type == ""select"":
               ...
            elif widget.input_type == ""checkbox"":
               ...
}}}

but end up with:

{{{
...
AttributeError: 'Textarea' object has no attribute 'input_type'
}}}
