pass value to field specific clean function

[Henrik Vendelbo <info@…>]

newforms has this bit of code in the full_clean function:

try:

value = field.clean(value)
self.clean_data[name] = value
if hasattr(self, 'clean_%s' % name):

value = getattr(self, 'clean_%s' % name)()

self.clean_data[name] = value

except ValidationError, e:

errors[name] = e.messages

Why is value not passed to the clean_%s function? Since it is required to return the accepted value, it is odd that it is forced to look it up. Basicly a dictionary read and assignment is required with no obvious gain. Logically I find it odd as well that clean_data contains values that are not cleaned fully yet.
