-----------------------------------------+------------------------
Now I am designing a form based on two models. I cannot use `ModelForm`,
because I need to support "splitting" data into two models and versioning
of one of these models.
So I manually create form fields based on model fields (repeating such
arguments as `max_length`, what is against DRY).
I want given a model field to create its corresponding form field
automatically (like to what `ModelForm` does, but for individual fields
rather than for the entire model).
So, please factor `ModelForm` into smaller parts to support such usage.

Comment:
Nothing prevents you to use even multiple modelforms within single HTML
form.
If you need help with using Django in such a case, either consult #django
IRC channel on Freenode or Django user group on google groups.
Closing as won't fix.
