If you specify a `SplitDateTimeWidget` as the custom widget for a
`DateTimeField` on a `ModelForm`, you receive this deprecation warning:

{{{
RemovedInDjango19Warning: Using SplitDateTimeWidget with DateTimeField is
deprecated. Use SplitDateTimeField instead.
}}}

My understanding is that the only way to do this for a `ModelForm` based
on a model with a `DateTimeField`, is to subclass `models.DateTimeField`
like this: https://gist.github.com/nacady/8dd5cab2f749d1589f1e.

Perhaps we should provide a simpler way of using the SplitDateTimeField
with ModelForms?

Comment:

The `ModelForm.Meta.field_classes` feature added in Django 1.9 should
allow this (#24295).
