- Incorrect. FormCell is a subclass of Cell. If you make a custom Cell
- class, you also have to make a custom View object to contain it. Then you
- set the +cellClass of the View class to be your cell. Actually, this is
- not bad general advice, because most of the interesting stuff happens
- inside Cells anyway. By pushing most intelligence there, you can drag out
- incredibly smart Matrices with clever Cells inside.
