4861	RegexField extends Field instead of CharField, duplicating much of the logic	Collin Grady <cgrady@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"Talking on IRC again, it came up that {{{RegexField}}} is a subclass of {{{Field}}} instead of {{{CharField}}}, and duplicates much of the logic, but not all of it, making it an incomplete mimic - specifically, it fails to define a {{{widget_attrs}}} method for setting the min/max length of the text input properly.

With a few minor changes, {{{RegexField}}} can instead extend {{{CharField}}} and gets all the same validation for free, along with the {{{widget_attrs}}} method :)"		closed	Forms	dev		fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
