Form API: the next generation (FAPI TNG)

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'll just keep this short and simple. Longer stories can be found in my blog. See the links below.

I started working on a new form API because I hate the way the current API works sometimes and there are a lot of others who feel similarly. Key features so far:
- OOP
- More flexible validation
- No more hook_forms()
- No more base form bullshit

Biggest roadblock: elements are now classes. How do we make extending those as flexible and as clean as possible?
