Just so you know I really look for such features too. z3c.form simply
declares that subforms are the way to go,
but when I look at example code I see rather involved ways information
has to pass back and forth between subform
and form. I hope more automation is possible here, while hopefully
retaining the increased control that z3c.form offers. Something
like an object widget that lets you specify a sub-form and template
manually. I looked at z3c.form to find such increased control for one
project, but the lack of automation really killed that for this
particular case.
