[html-formfu] handling repeatable on the javascript side

[Moritz Onken]

Hi Carl,

do you know Hash::Flatten? I use this in Model::HashRef to convert the  
form data to a hash. I thought this might be a good thing for your  
naming scheme too. It could convert a hash with arrayrefs to the  
fieldnames. One thing to workaround though is that Hash::Flatten  
starts with an index of 0, but this can either be patched in  
Hash::Flatten or worked around in FormFu.
