[Typo3-dev] re-engineering the form content type

Hallo!

The Form type is nice, but there is room for improvements.

It'd be nice to have subtypes (like menus and plugins), so an extension could introduce a new form type. formtype_mail/_db will go and replaced by formtype=mail/db/... or something like this. Ok, ok, for the sake of backwards compatibility they can still be used to override the new typing *sigh*

To make args a bit cleaner the form arguments could be "wrapped" in PI style, eg form[field]=value. Perhaps even distinguish "internal" args, eg form_int[html_enabled]=1.

Does it make sense?
