/**
 * This class represents "transformations" of a form - such as making it printable or making it readonly.
 * The idea is that sometimes you will want to make your own such transformations, and you shouldn't have
 * to edit the underlying code to support this.
 *
 * The first step in creating a transformation is subclassing FormTransformation.  After that, you have two
 * ways of defining specific functionality:
 *   - Define performMyTransformation() methods on each applicable FormField() object.
 *   - Define transformFieldType($field) methods on your subclass of FormTransformation.
 *
 * To actually perform the transformation, call $form->transform(new MyTransformation());
