Some months ago I worked on this. Unfortunately I haven't kept up with
recent updates to Grok so the code will be broken.

My way to deal with incorporating z3c patterns into Grok is with a set
of grokkers which I packaged in the mars.* namespace.

I had also duplicated the z3c.formdemo as mars.formdemo.

I began pulling it all together in a simple website application:
tfws.website.

This code is here:
