Sources should work right away since they don't have the name-based 
lookup through the utility registry. The Choice field accepts several 
things as the 'source' parameter:

- a source object (providing ISource). This is useful for when the 
source is pretty much not dependend on the object that you're currently 
trying to validate.

- a source factory (providing IContextSourceBinder). This is a callable 
that take the current context (the object you're trying to validate) and 
returns a source.
