What I'm trying to do is make FormValidator transparent; to allow my
'action' routine and any other plugins etc, to be able to access the
input as usual, via $req->params

I don't want all of the 'action' routines to have to check
$c->form->missing, $c->form-->valid, etc.

I think I'm just going to have to go with my method for now, and see
if anything breaks - that is unless I hear from someone that knows the
Catalyst code-base and says 'dont'!
