Description

Hello Adrian

With oldforms any model.CharField(..., choices=(...)) is displayed as <select ...> ...choices...</select>

In newforms this feature seem to be unimplemented yet and model.CharField is always displayed as forms.CharField. This behavior is unexpected. Attached patch fixes this.

P.S. I DO know that it can be also done manually through callback function to form_to_model/form_to_instance calls, but it seems to be not right in this situation because if I always need to specify callback_func, there's no reason to me to specify choices=() in the model.

isn't this the same as #3268?
