No, I just hate going one char at a time in Python. Surely this should be
fixed somewhere else? (I'm not sure where; I haven't looked recently)
If you've determined that fixing it elsewhere pulls in too much code or
requires a fix to stdlib code (if so, why?), maybe I should do as you
suggest anyway, but I don't like it.

Why? You can supply your own FormsFactory, as DefaultFactory does.

Oh. Sure, if I apply a patch to enable ignore_errors, I'll of course do
that too.
