This maps an individual column to a form element. The C<how> argument
-can be used to force the field type into any you want. It tells AsForm how
-to make the input ie-- forces it to use the method "_to_$how".
+can be used to force the field type into any you want. All that you need
+is a method named "_to_$how" in your class. Your class inherits many from
+AsForm already. Override them at will.
+
If C<how> is specified but the class cannot call the method it maps to,
then AsForm will issue a warning and the default input will be made.
You can write your own "_to_$how" methods and AsForm comes with many.
