Any chance you can provide a patch to the documentation for  
Catalyst::Controller::FormBuilder for that please?

By the way, my experience is that sometimes people are reluctant to  
provide documentation because they fear ridicule due to their poor  
writing skills.  Personally I find that if I write any old crap, then  
i can edit it later, and a blank piece of paper is always more  
intimidating than incoherent ramblings.  I promise to edit your  
ramblings if they need it.
