---------------------------------------------+------------------------
The documentation on form validation (/ref/forms/validation/) has this to
say regarding the clean_<fieldname> method on a Form subclass:
This method should return the cleaned value obtained from
cleaned_data, regardless of whether it changed anything or not.
This is incorrect; the method should return the value to be used for
further processing, because its result is unconditionally put ''into''
cleaned_data:
(from django.forms.forms.Form._clean_fields():)
{{{
if hasattr(self, 'clean_%s' % name):
value = getattr(self, 'clean_%s' % name)()
self.cleaned_data[name] = value
}}}
