--------------------------------------+--------------------
`value_from_datadict()` of `django.forms.widgets.MultipleHiddenInput` and
`django.forms.widgets.SelectMultiple` are not based on duck typing but on
a strict checking for `MultiValueDict` class.
Changing implementation to duck typing will make code more flexible and
open doors for passing any dict-like and MultiValueDict-like objects as a
form's data.
Forms data passed as `MultiValueDict` class should be slightly faster due
to less type checkings, but this is not a goal itself.
The discussion I've started about this improvement is here:
