3898	reinstate the model field type css classes to form elements generated with newforms' as_* methods.	Tai Lee	nobody	"i'd like to see the model field type classes from oldforms (vIntegerField, vEmailField, vPasswordField, etc) re-applied to form elements generated by newforms' as_* methods. these were great as they allowed differently sized field elements depending on the data type. e.g. you might want an input text tag for an email address to be wider than an input text tag for an integer or a date.

if people don't want to make use of these, they can ignore them, but i don't see the harm in having them in there as hooks besides a few bytes in html size, especially for the as_* methods. if that's a problem, they could be switched on or off in settings.py or when the form.as_* and field.as_* methods are called. not having these hooks appears to be a fairly significant departure from the oldforms functionality, so i'd like to see them reinstated if there are no major objections.
