However, this parameter is not used all the time during the 'as_widget'
call.

It is true.
> The widget parameter is used in `widget.render(...)` at the end of the
method.
I am not saying that this is the only possible place where the widget is
used.
> It's totally possible something is not working properly,
Please, carefully read my ticket again as I described what's wrong:
> The method 'data', which is (indirectly via 'value') called by
'as_widget' ALWAYS used the default widget of the field which leads to
issues like formatting etc.
> but then we'll need a more thorough example to demonstrate the issue.
Cf. my ticket again:
> The problem can also be observed when using BoundField.as_hidden as it
uses 'as_widget' as well.
`BouldField.as_hidden` should always use the HiddenWidget during
processing `BoundField.as_widget`, but `BouldField.data` uses the default
widget which is not the HiddenWidget of course.
A more concise presentation of the issue:
`BoundField.as_hidden` ---> `BoundField.as_widget` ---> `BoundField.value`
---> `BoundField.data`
"--->" means "uses"
`BoundField.as_hidden` specifies the HiddenWidget when it calls
`BoundField.as_widget`
`BoundField.value` and `BoundField.data` do not respect the specified
widget
Hence, the output is flawed.
