Similar to how `get_form` allows customization of the admin form, there
should be a way to customize the inline admin forms.
For example, if there is custom validation that needs to be done on the
individual inline forms (for example, to raise a `ValidationError`) this
cannot be done easily currently.
I am right now experimenting with `get_formsets_with_inlines` to modify
the individual formsets' forms, but this feels very hackish and I'm not
sure what other side-effects this will have.

New description:
After going through the documentation a few more times, the answer is that
unlike ModelAdmin, the InlineAdmins have a [`.form`
property](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.InlineModelAdmin.form)
that can be used to control which form is being passed to the factory.
