Notes on the usage of the Form View as a sub-widget
===================================================
Undocumented stuff
------------------
* ``initial_mode`` *option* defines the starting mode of the form
view, one of ``view`` and ``edit`` (?). Default value is ``view``
(non-editable form).
* ``embedded_view`` *attribute* has to be set separately when
providing a view directly, no option available for that usage.
* View arch **must** contain node with
``@class="oe_form_container"``, otherwise everything will break
without any info
* Root element of view arch not being ``form`` may or may not work
correctly, no idea.
* Freeform views => ``@version="7.0"``
* Form is not entirely loaded (some widgets may not appear) unless
``on_record_loaded`` is called (or ``do_show``, which itself calls
``on_record_loaded``).
* "Empty" form => ``on_button_new`` (...), or manually call
``default_get`` + ``on_record_loaded``
* Form fields default to width: 100%, padding, !important margin, can
be reached via ``.oe_form_field``
* Form *will* render buttons and a pager, offers options to locate
both outside of form itself (``$buttons`` and ``$pager``), providing
empty jquery objects (``$()``) seems to stop displaying both but not
sure if there are deleterious side-effects.
Other options:
* Pass in ``$(document.createDocumentFragment)`` to ensure it's a
DOM-compatible tree completely outside of the actual DOM.
* ???
* readonly fields probably don't have a background, beware if need of
overlay
* What is the difference between ``readonly`` and
``effective_readonly``?
* No facilities for DOM events handling/delegations e.g. handling
keyup/keydown/keypress from a form fields into the form's user.
* Also no way to reverse from a DOM node (e.g. DOMEvent#target) back to a
form view field easily
