Comment:

 Just because something is "widely used" isn't a justification for making
 it a public API, but we recently documented `Form.has_changed()` so it
 probably makes sense to document this as well. This method relies on
 `field.show_hidden_initial` which also isn't documented so we might want
 to consider that as well.

 We should likely address the comment in the `changed_data` property `XXX:
 For now we're asking the individual fields ...` before documenting this
 though as if we make that change it might be easier to do so before
 documenting in case there are any backwards compatibility concerns.
